John A. Logan College to Suspend Carterville Campus Operations on Wednesday, Jan. 21
Published on January 20, 2026
John A. Logan College will suspend operations on its Carterville campus on Wednesday, Jan. 21, due to a construction-related procedure affecting multiple areas of campus.
The suspension of operations will be effective immediately through the end of the day on Jan. 21 to allow construction and engineering officials time to evaluate a beam located in the demolition area at the west entrance. Support cables attached to the beam must be assessed after removal to ensure there are no structural issues.
College officials emphasized that there is no damage to campus facilities and no known safety concerns at this time. The temporary suspension is being implemented out of an abundance of caution to allow the evaluation process to be completed safely and efficiently.
All classes will move to an online format for the day. Students with questions should contact their instructors directly. John A. Logan College staff members should contact their immediate supervisors with any questions regarding work schedules or responsibilities.
Logan Fitness will remain open and operate under normal hours on Wednesday.
A decision regarding the scheduled men’s and women’s home basketball games will be made later in the day. Updates will be communicated as soon as they become available.
Additional information will be shared with the campus community as the situation is evaluated.
