Lake Land College is dealing with a fire in Neal Hall. Around 2:50 on Tuesday afternoon, a fire broke out in an isolated section of the roof of Neal Hall, a campus building at Lake Land College in Mattoon. Area fire departments and emergency services responded and put out the fire. 

The roof had been in the process of being replaced and contractors were there working on the project. They were able to escape the building without injury. 

With COVID-19 keeping campus restricted no students or staff were on campus when this occurred. 

Neal Hall houses a nursing lab, 2-D and 3-D art labs, a music classroom, a biology lab, and a greenhouse. There is also an earth science lab and general education classrooms in the building as well. 

The fire is still under investigation.
