On top of masking, other campus COVID-19 prevention mechanisms are in place. For instance, some buildings changed the way traffic flows through the space. Some buildings that have upper-levels and multiple staircases may have steps set aside for ascending or descending. (Kaylie McLaughlin | Collegian Media Group)
With new social distancing rules and fewer on-campus course offerings, several high trafficked zones on campus look like ghost towns. During normal times, the Quad would be full of students studying on a nice day like Nov. 18, 2020, but with COVID-19 only a few stragglers can be seen. (Kaylie McLaughlin | Collegian Media Group)
Local gathering size limitations and other COVID-19-related restrictions have limited all in-person class sizes to 50. Since fewer than 30 percent of the classes this semester are classified as in-person, large lecture halls like Kedzie 106 remain empty for the most part. Some classes are held in these spaces, but they are few and far between. (Kaylie McLaughlin | Collegian Media Group)
