Greetings UIS Community,
The PAC plumbing project is progressing well and is on schedule with approximately 30-40% of the initial project phase completed.
As part of this current phase, temporary adjustments will be made to elevator and entrance availability:
The elevator in PAC Tower 1 has been taken out of service for the near future. Substantial repairs are necessary, which may take some time to complete.
We will share status updates as they become available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Campus Community,
Next week initial preparations will begin for the Library Commons construction project. Starting on July 7, Parking Lot A-North will be closed to allow the contractor to install fencing to convert the lot into a laydown area for materials.
F&S will oversee annual elevator inspections for all three towers in July.
Inspections are currently scheduled for July 2, 3, 7, and 8.
Elevators will be taken out of service temporarily during the inspection process. Please be mindful of posted signs that indicate when an elevator is out of service.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Dear UIS Campus Community,
As we continue to experience extreme heat this week, City Water, Light & Power (CWLP) has notified UIS of a potential Maximum Generation Warning. This is due to the increased demand for electricity and a potential energy supply shortage from the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), the regional electric grid operator for the central United States.
Public Affairs Center Plumbing Infrastructure Renovation Project
Enhancing a Cornerstone of Campus Life
The Public Affairs Center (PAC) is currently undergoing a multi-year infrastructure renovation project to update its aging plumbing systems and ensure its continued use as a vibrant space for academic learning, cultural events, and community engagement. The project began in June 2025 and will conclude by April 2027.
Please be advised that Parking Lot A “North” will be closed for the duration of the Library Commons construction project.
This project is set to begin within the next 30 days, and Parking Lot A “North” will be utilized by the construction contractor for their work trailers, material storage, staging, and other construction operations.
Your patience and understanding are very much appreciated.
