Events and Programming

Visits and Tours

Campus

  • Are Holmes Hall classrooms, labs, and offices open?

    No. College employees are now working remotely, therefore offices are closed. Classrooms and labs have been sanitized and secured. 


    The County Health Department has issued an order that impacts access to Holmes. Any LBC employee now wishing to enter Holmes, for any reason or any length of time, must have prior authorization through a health screening.

  • Have all students left campus?
    No, not all students have left campus. A number of students have chosen to stay or could not return home. We are trying to support students who remain so they do not feel so isolated.
  • Are campus dining halls open?

    A limited number of dining halls are open, through May 1. They are offering grab-and-go options.

    As of April 20, Holmes Dining Hall will be open daily from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. and 5-8 p.m.
