Dear Campus Community:

The Public Affairs Center (PAC) is temporarily closed from Tuesday, May 12, to Monday, June 8, to support the completion of our major plumbing infrastructure project, which requires a full building water shutdown.

During this time, all units housed in PAC will operate from temporary or remote locations. This includes key student services, academic programs, and administrative offices such as:

Greetings Campus Community,

Wildlife sightings around campus are a common occurrence. However, this time of year, a fawn may be spotted curled up in the grass, under a shrub, or tucked next to a building. Please do not approach them - they are fine and do not need assistance. The doe is typically nearby searching for food and will return to care for the fawn. Deer commonly do this to keep the fawns safe when they are too young to run from predators.

Thank you for helping to keep the campus a safe and healthy environment for both people and wildlife.

As a reminder, the water supply in the Public Affairs Center (PAC) will be turned off beginning at noon today (May 14) as part of the scheduled temporary building closure from May 12 to June 8.

During this time, restrooms in the building should not be used. Employees working in or visiting PAC today are encouraged to plan accordingly prior to noon.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Greetings, Campus Community,

In tandem with the classroom lighting upgrade project in UHB, UIS electricians began work this week alongside external contractors to upgrade the environmental controls. Work will primarily be focused on floors 1 through 3 of University Hall. Expect to see ceiling tiles removed and ladders, materials, and other project-related equipment throughout the building. 

These projects are expected to take most of the summer to complete.
