Adapting the Campus Safely WIth the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting the nation’s population, Luzerne County Community College undertook extraordinary efforts to adapt our campuses to meet CDC, as well as state and local recommendations to allow the College to offer in-person classes. LCCC requires all students, faculty, and staff to wear masks on campus. The College placed CDC signage thoughout the facilities and classrooms. Clear plastic barriers have been placed on the counters between staff and visitors. LCCC enacted social distancing efforts by literally knocking down non-load bearing walls to make the classrooms larger and more spread out. In addition, several areas of campus not normally used for instruction, the rotunda, gymnasium, conference center auditoriums and more, now serve as classrooms.
