Joliet Junior College’s City Center Campus Reopens After Storm Damage Repairs

Sep 13, 2024

Joliet Junior College (JJC) is pleased to announce the reopening of the City Center Campus on Monday, Sept. 16, following extensive roof and HVAC repairs due to damage from a microburst on July 14.

The repairs included the restoration of the fresh air circulation system and the installation of a new intake plenum for the rooftop HVAC unit. These repairs were necessary in order to restore a healthy, safe environment for all students and staff.

"We are excited to see the City Center Campus reopen after a challenging couple of months," said Dr. Clyne Namuo, JJC president. "I want to extend my gratitude to the facilities team, the Board of Trustees and all of our faculty and staff who adapted during this time to ensure our students remained supported. Their flexibility and commitment have been essential in getting us back to this point."

During the closure of City Center, the College was able to successfully transition employees and students to alternative work and learning environments.

There are 733 students enrolled at City Center-based programs. Programs stationed at City Center include culinary arts, the department of adult education and learning, the Entrepreneur and Business Center and workforce development.
