It’s time for a Woodward Center! This is our indoor athletic facility on campus. It houses a fitness center that includes a weight room, yoga studio, a training room, locker rooms, coach offices, and racquetball/handball courts. The fitness center was recently remodeled thanks to a donation and hosts some classes and is also open to the Blackburn community for general use. Woodward also houses our Dawes Gymnasium, or as we like to call it Beaver Dome! Please keep in mind that all of our facilities look slightly different at the moment, as we have made adjustments to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.

Hey future teachers, it’s time for a or Rahme! Partially constructed by students in the Work Program, Rahme houses our Education Department. The upper level contains faculty offices and some classrooms. In the lower level you can find a curriculum library, classrooms designed to look like school classrooms, and an observation classroom for teaching elementary age students. This is also where we have a supply closet filled with classroom and bulletin board supplies for our future teachers. The Mary H. Rahme Learning Center is adjacent to the Limpkin Student Success Center and is a memorial to the late Mary H. Rahme, a former faculty member. It also houses our Department of Modern Languages and the Blackburn and Beyond Program, designed to aid and empower students with special needs in skills to become independent. Please note that we have rearranged some of our facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.

Here’s a of our natural science building on campus! Our laboratory wing is most commonly referred to as Mahan. It’s a state-of-the-art, 28,000 square foot facility with seven teaching laboratories for biology, chemistry, and biochemistry and also contains a water analysis lab. Off the spacious lobby is what we like to call the “fish bowl.” In it, science faculty have offices connected by a large outer office area for students who serve as faculty assistants in the Work Program. The building also includes a conference room and a specimen display room. Mahan is one of the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rated buildings in central Illinois bespeaking its environmentally conscious design. Mahan is attached to F.W. Olin Science Building, which was constructed by students in our Work Program. The building contains lecture halls with electronic teaching aids and data/communication ports at each seat, a science library, a seminar room, and computer labs. It also houses our campus vivarium, which is staffed by students. Like everywhere else on campus, the furniture and other aspects of Mahan-Olin have been adapted to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
