MACOMB, IL -- As part of the ongoing piping replacement project in Stipes Hall on the Western Illinois University-Macomb campus, restroom changes will be in place beginning Monday, Dec. 20.

Phase one of the project, which will be completed during winter break, will require all women's restrooms to be taken offline. To accommodate faculty and staff in Stipes, the men's restrooms on floors one and three will be designated as women's restrooms, while the men's restrooms on floors two and four will continue to be designated as men's restrooms.

Both men's and women's restrooms on the fifth floor will be offline and various break rooms throughout the building will be without water.

Signage will be posted at each restroom and at each entry door to provide direction to the correct floor and restroom.

All restrooms and break rooms will be back in operation for the Spring 2022 semester. Phase two of the project will be completed during the Summer 2022.

According to Troy Rhoads, assistant vice president for facilities management, the project is part of the Illinois Board of Higher Education's emergency deferred maintenance project program.
