STLCC Transformed Updates

A screenshot from a presentation from Chancellor Pittman and STLCC COO Hart Nelson on Sept. 26, 2022. It appears that the library will move into the former Bookstore space.

As the Meramec campus prepares for demolition of Communications South, Business Administration and the Library Building, the following changes will occur over the next few months:

The library and Academic Success and Tutoring will be relocated to the Student Center. The deans’ suite and the business department will be relocated to the Applied Sciences building. Communications will be relocated to the English department and humanities will be relocated to the Social Science building.

Early College will move to Communications North and the information technology department will be relocated to the PE building. Most of the renovations will be minor, others will take more time as we engage an external contractor for the work— demolition, drywall, etc. The PE area is planned to be a permanent move and the timeline remains to be decided.

The construction timeline for the swing spaces begins Nov. 14. Therefore, many spaces (SC 200/201) will not be accessible during this period.

With construction in SC 200/201 now planned, no events will be scheduled in those rooms after Nov. 14.

Library space will be available through Feb. 1.
