University of Illinois Facilities and Services

The Alma Mater returned to campus after spending more than 600 days in the Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio (CSOS) in Forest Park, IL. Prior to that trip, The Alma Mater had never left the Urbana campus. On April 8, 2014, the Alma Mater was lifted out of the CSOS, placed on a trailer, and stored in a secure facility overnight to prepare for transport back to campus. Once home to Alma Mater Plaza, reinstallation of the sculpture is anticipated to take approximately 2-4 hours.

Several major street projects will be under construction in 2014.  The purpose of these projects is to improve safety and mobility on campus as well as improve drainage and street surface conditions.  These projects will cause extended street closures and traffic detours for both motorized vehicles and pedestrians.  Your patience is appreciated while these important improvements are made.  Please use caution when traveling through construction areas.  Pay careful attention to traffic control signs and reduce speed.  See overall map (pdf)  and additional information below.

Energy Performance Contracting projects at the University of Illinois began with the $20M Veterinary Medicine ESCO (Energy Service Company) and Oak Street Chiller Plant ESCO projects. The Vet Med ESCO project is expected to reduce the department’s energy usage in more than a half a million gross sq. ft. by 40% with an annual estimated cost avoidance or more than $800K. In an ESCO, the university enters into an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) with an accredited energy service company. This contract provides the services required to design and implement a comprehensive project at the customer facility, from the initial energy audit through long-term guarantee of project savings.
