LCCC Receives Relief

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, LCCC has had the opportunity to support both our students and campus improvements with the support of federal coronavirus relief funding. Since last March, funding received has been used to provide direct financial assistance for our students, beyond the college’s normal financial aid packages. It has also allowed LCCC to make important campus improvements, providing opportunities for students to learn virtually and move LCCC towards resuming in-person instruction and community engagement.

LCCC received almost $11 million. This money was used in the following ways:

Campus improvements include:

• Owl Cameras for Classrooms: Owl cameras track the presenter as they move, allowing greater interaction in hybrid settings.
• WiFi Expansion: Expanded LCCC WiFi coverage to parking lots and exterior spaces (student access options during closure).
• HVAC - Indoor Air Quality and Changeover Rate: Migration from pneumatic to digital building system controls for enhanced controllability of the indoor air—particularly in higher transmission risk (greater density, high volume traffic) areas.
• Student Lab Equipment: Additional equipment and supplies to lessen sharing of materials during student lab work.
