The Board of Trustees for Carl Sandburg College on Monday approved a three-year contract with Innkeeper’s Fresh Roasted Coffee to provide food service at the community college’s main campus.
Innkeepers, who have a permanent location on Seminary Street in downtown Galesburg, will serve breakfast from 7:30 until 10 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Cyber Café in Sandburg’s Student Center.
Known locally for its coffee and lunch selections, Innkeeper’s replaces Lieber’s Boxcar Express, which had been the College’s food service provider since 2014.
The contract runs through June 30, 2026.
The board also approved auctioning off several items that is no longer needed as part of the automotive technology program.
With the program’s upcoming move from Building B to Building G, some items deemed no longer necessary for instruction or part of the planned building demolition could be sold as surplus equipment.
Kyle Kelso Auctioneer of Bushnell will conduct the online-only sale, which will close at 6 p.m. Jan. 2.
Items up for auction include a five-ton crane, garage doors, car lifts, paint booths, a high-beam crane, a chain hoist, work benches, lockers, and more.
Also approved was the College’s academic calendar for the 2023-24 academic year. The 2023 fall semester will take place Aug. 21-Dec. 14. The 2024 spring semester will run from Jan. 16-May 15. Commencement ceremonies are scheduled for May 15-16.
