SIU RETURN TO WORK - June 29, 2020

Beginning on Monday, June 29, 2020, staff from the following SIU Research Park offices will be working both in-person and remotely until the end of July. SIU Research Park buildings will be open to the public from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Some services will be available in person but most will be offered through alternate formats. It is preferred that you contact staff for an appointment, rather than walking in, because they are holding many appointments as Zoom and conference calls rather than in-person meetings.

In compliance with the governor’s order, masks are required in indoor public spaces regardless of the ability to maintain social distance. Indoor public places include spaces anyone can access, such as reception areas with walk-in access and the lobbies of buildings. Social distancing guidelines also remain in effect.

For your convenience, see the list of office contacts below. Thank you for your interest in the programs and services of the SIU Research Park. We look forward to hearing from you and working with Southern Illinois--one business at a time.
