The recent COVID-19 pandemic has changed how Illinois State University can safely hold in-person classes starting in the Fall of 2020.
As a result, the University is developing a campus wide plan for classroom teaching to follow CDC and IDPH protocols beginning with the the 2020 Fall semester. SmithGroup will survey and evaluate 358 classroom spaces in 29 University buildings to assist the University in determining ideal occupancy. This survey and evaluation will result in necessary data and a set of drawings that will show new COVID-19 classroom seating layouts that meet CDC and IDPH defined safety protocols for occupancy.
