Dec 9, 2020

President Monica Posey reported in her College Update email message on Dec. 7 that classrooms and labs in the A and B Wings of the Main Building will be back in use for Spring Semester 2021 classes.

Faculty members who use classrooms in the wings will work with their deans to prepare for reoccupancy, which will begin Jan. 4, 2021.
The rest of Main Building will remain closed during Spring Semester so repairs can be completed.
Access to A and B Wings during Spring Semester will be from Parking Lot D only, and College Drive will remain closed during Spring Semester.
All parking lots and garages will continue to be open and free for students and visitors throughout Spring Semester.
The entire Main Building will reopen in Summer Semester 2021.

Work ongoing this week, as reported by Vice President of Administration Lawra Baumann, includes:

Electrical repair of A and B Wings is 90% complete.
Work is underway to locate leaks and repair air compression lines that serve A and B Wings and the Boiler Room.
Hazardous material abatement is 100% complete.
Removal of abandoned lines in tunnels is underway.
