Oakton College is beginning campus improvement projects including those outlined in our recently approved facilities master plan, which will result in transformed spaces that create an optimal learning and working environment for students and employees.
Check back often as this page will help minimize operational disruptions and keep you informed of our progress.
Latest Update: March 27, 2024
The Oakton College Educational Foundation & SBDC will move to a new area in the summer. The construction is currently underway near Door No. 37. The door is available with short-term obstructions; drop-off parking is limited.
Liberal Arts and Institutional Research office renovations will begin in March on the second floor of the Des Plaines campus (suites 2100 and 2180). As work continues, the area will be impacted by dust and noise.
The TenHoeve rooms (1600 Rooms) at the Des Plaines campus will be available for use through November 2024. The conference room (#1275) will be available through July.
Through fall 2024
(dates are approximate and subject to adjustment)
Our Skokie Campus Library will soon become a Learning Commons, including collaborative learning spaces and centralized access to student support services. The area will be impacted by noise during construction activity.
All Skokie Library services, including the reference desk, computers, scanners, and print stations, will be located in rooms A145-152 (Oak Rooms). Books can be checked out in the Oak Rooms but will be retrieved by library employees from temporary storage.
The Skokie Testing Center, Learning Center, Access and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) and TRIO Student Support Services have temporarily relocated to Rooms P103-104 (Acorn Rooms).
The Oak and Acorn Rooms will be unavailable for meetings, events and rentals through September 2024.
