Ongoing Projects

Library Commons

Work continues on the building's foundation. Crews are also working to construct the grand staircase and the elevator shaft at the back of the building. Structural steel work is expected in early December.

Public Affairs Center (PAC) Plumbing Infrastructure Renovation

This project will renew the plumbing system in PAC by repairing and replacing sanitary sewer and domestic water pipes. The project started in June 2025 and is expected to wrap up in April 2027. Visit our dedicated PAC Plumbing Infrastructure Renovation Project webpage for the latest updates.

Parking Lot D

An unexpected problem with the curbing has caused a significant delay that is unlikely to be resolved before the temperatures become too cold for the materials needed for the lot. The project schedule has been revised accordingly with completion now scheduled for May 2026.

University Hall (UHB) Classroom Lighting

Classroom lighting is being upgraded to new LED flat panels. This project is ongoing so as to not interrupt classes. Expect to see more work between semesters in December and January!

Roof Work on Founders and Lincoln Residence Halls

The roofing will be replaced on both Founders and Lincoln Residence Halls this autumn. Inclement weather has caused some delays, and a revised schedule will be shared when available.

Health & Sciences Building (HSB) Lab Modernization

Renovations will begin approximately Sept 5-8 on the 3rd floor of HSB to create a Centralized Lab Equipment Facility. Rooms 329 and 330 will be transformed into a shared space for housing lab instruments accessible to all labs within HSB. Project completion is expected in February 2026.

Projects on the horizon

EV Charging Stations

In collaboration with the City of Springfield, EV charging stations will be installed in the northwest corner of parking lot I-North. CWLP will manage and maintain the stations, including establishing and collecting any usage fees.

Completed Projects:

Clover Court Exterior Renovations

The 100 and 200 building complexes in Clover Court have a fresh look! New windows, siding, doors, and roofs give the buildings a lighter and brighter appearance.

Roll into Fun at the Bocce Ball Court!

A bocce ball court is the latest addition to Rec Park. This addition was made possible through the vision of Campus Recreation, the financial support of the Good Idea Fund, and the skillful work of our Grounds crew.
