UIS campus community,
The University plans to permanently close the WUIS building on July 30, 2027, due to failing infrastructure related to HVAC and plumbing. Given the University’s current financial deficit and the extensive cost of addressing these issues, the University has decided not to make the repairs the building would require and instead engage a licensed demolition contractor to remove it in compliance with all applicable regulations.
The Springfield Fire Department will be conducting a series of planned fire-service training burns at the Sunflower Court apartment buildings on Oct. 14, 21, and 28, beginning at approximately 7:30 a.m.
The training exercise will provide the Springfield Fire Department with an opportunity to conduct training using the structures before they are burned down and removed. The Sunflower Court site will subsequently be used for new buildings supporting the new Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Technology program.
