The university and the Department of Mathematics continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19 (novel coronavirus). The following building usage and related protocols are in effect as of August 13, 2021.
Department of Mathematics Fall 2021 Building Usage Protocols
During Fall 2021, Math Department personnel will be located in the following seven buildings:
- Altgeld Hall
- Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. – 11 p.m.
- Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Weekends, 9 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- Illini Hall
The use of Illini Hall is temporary, until the move into CAB is finalized. The elevator in CAB has been repaired, and the current occupants of CAB (the Department of Mechanical Engineering) have begun to move out of the building. We will coordinate the move of people from Illini Hall to CAB with our counterparts in Engineering, and we will accommodate people’s schedules as much as possible. The current goal is to complete the move out of Illini Hall by the start of December. Until that move takes place, Math and Statistics personnel will continue to occupy offices in Illini Hall.- Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- Locked on weekends
- Coble Hall
- Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Locked on weekends
- Computing Applications Building (CAB), 605 East Springfield Avenue, Champaign
- Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Locked on weekends
- Oil Chemistry Building, 508 South Sixth Street, Champaign
- Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Locked on weekends
- 805 West Pennsylvania, Urbana
- Access restricted to occupants; please contact Math Department personnel located here to arrange for a meeting if desired.
- NetMath House, 912 South Fifth Street, Champaign
- Access restricted to occupants; please contact NetMath staff via email.
The mailroom (250 Altgeld) will be open during regular business hours during 2021-2022, staffed (as in the past) by a student worker. One of the copiers previously located in that room will be relocated to CAB. In the interests of health and safety, we ask that you refrain from congregating or spending extensive time in 250 Altgeld.
Once we have completed the move to CAB, the department intends to provide periodic delivery of packages from Altgeld Hall to CAB. Packages may be picked up by CAB occupants in the Math Business Office (57 CAB). Outgoing mail and packages may also be left in the Business Office to be sent to Altgeld for distribution. Details of this arrangement will be announced later.
The Altgeld Commons Room (321 Altgeld) will reopen at the start of the Fall 2021 semester. Note that room 321 will be impacted by the upcoming work on the Altgeld Chimes tower, currently scheduled to start during the Fall 2021 semester. Once that work starts, 321 Altgeld will be unavailable. We currently anticipate that we will provide a large commons room in CAB for the joint use of Math and Statistics personnel. The CAB commons room will not open until the two departments have taken over full ownership of that building.
Room 239 will not be available for use as a classroom or informal space during 2021-22.
The Altgeld conference room (350 Altgeld) will be available during 2021-22. There will also be a conference room in CAB, available for use by appointment to both Math and Statistics personnel.
The following information is provided by the Interim Math Librarian, Alex Cabada. Please note that this information is subject to change pursuant to campus guidelines.

USPS has permanently removed their post office site from Altgeld Hall, and will not return. We currently anticipate that the former USPS location will be used by the general contractors as a construction management site for the Altgeld/Illini building project.
Requests for room maintenance, keys, office issues, etc. should continue to be directed to math-facilities@mx.uillinois.edu.
