The Illinois Valley Community College will close parking lots beginning December 13, 2023, and are expected to reopen by January 2, 2024, for an installation project that will close all but two parking lots. For the week the college is open, staff and visitors will use Lot 7 East of the Community Technology Center or the ADA-Compliant parking lot in front of the building. The circle drive will also be open for access to the entrance, but not for parking. Barricades will be erected at the closed lots and signs will direct drivers to Lot 7.
The rerouting will affect theater-goers to the holiday production the weekend of Dec. 15-17 as well as daily visitors to counseling, admissions, financial aid, Bookstore, or other campus services. Parking for fans coming to the Gym for the Eagles home basketball game on December 16th will be announced when it’s been determined.
Fall semester classes are winding down this week, but campus services will operate through December 19th. The Main Campus and Ottawa Center will be closed for winter break from December 20th to January 1, 2024. The lot closures are necessary for the completion of a lighting and security upgrade project.
