APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Lawrence University buildings will be closed to the public during the fall term in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The university’s fall trimester began Monday and runs through Nov. 24. Only students, faculty, staff and approved contractors will be allowed inside facilities such as the Warch Campus Center, Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center and the Seeley G. Mudd Library. No public events will be held on campus.
Library resources will continue to be available online.
About 60% of the student body, or 850 students, are living on campus this term, the university says. The rest have opted for remote instruction. Most classes are being presented online, with any in-person classes subject to physical distancing protocols.
Everyone on campus has signed a pledge to follow rules designed to slow the spread of the virus. Tests were also required, and additional testing is planned throughout the term.
Full information on the university’s virus plans is available online.
