Annual Campus Fire Drills - Oct 31 and Nov 1

The annual fire drills for this year will be conducted on Thursday October 31 and Friday November 1 for the UIS campus. Please pay special attention to your building assembly points as some have been revised for the ease of assembly by location.

Drill Procedures

2. Exit the building using the most direct route and the nearest exit. Do not use the elevator. 
3. Report directly to the Assembly location.  
4. Remain at the Assembly location until the “All Clear” is given by the UIS Police. 

Use the tables below to find the scheduled time for your building/location. Please note the times are approximate - the actual drill time will be dictated by radio station operations.

PAC Roof Replacement Project

Work begins September 5 on the PAC Roof Replacement Project. Contractor equipment and materials will be staged in the lot on the southwest side of the building, near the loading dock and stage door.

For safety reasons, this lot will be closed to all non-contractor vehicles from September 4 to October 25, to provide a dedicated area for roofing crews to operate and work safely.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Facilities and Services at 217-206-6530 or facilities@uis.edu. 

Colonnade Restoration

In the coming months, restoration will occur on the Colonnade and surrounding stone fixtures. Restoration efforts will involve replacing broken pieces where possible and patching and filling cracks and crevices. Otto Baum, the contractor that worked on the original construction, will collaborate with F&S on the restoration.

The work will be completed in multiple phases and will be dependent upon the weather. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin in August and completed by mid-October.

Work areas will be clearly marked so please use caution when walking in the area.
