Lewis and Clark Community College broke ground Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, on a Main Complex renovation intended to bring student services and engagement opportunities together in a building that dates to the 1890s.
Trazaska said construction at the Godfrey Campus is scheduled to begin Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, and last about 18 months.
"About 18 months of construction starting Wednesday, spring 2028, and by fall 2028, we should have full student enrollment and advising a center for student engagement in the building. It will be a more synergistic experience.
"It will make it seamless to come in on campus and have a remarkable service," the president said. "It will be presented in a clean, clear, and organized fashion. The building dates back to the 1890s and is central to the campus. Students can experience history within it. The future is incredibly exciting for everyone on the Lewis and Clark Community College campus and our community."
The groundbreaking ceremony took place at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Fobes Circle on the southeast end of the LCCC campus.
