Two members of the nearby community decided to take a night-time ride through EC’s campus on Monday, Oct. 19. While normally frowned upon, the closure of campus, and especially the night-time setting, make riding through campus’s wide walkways an appealing activity. Image taken on Monday, Oct. 19.

One of the storages rooms in the Chemistry building is unoccupied save for a mop and bucket left by a custodian of El Camino College. While the majority of classes are online, some classes that require in-person labs and lectures are still conducted on campus and rely on the custodial staff to maintain sanitation standards.

Shadows dominate this walkway as light makes an effort to take root on this walk way between the Humanities Building and the new Administration bui;ding headed toward Crenshaw Boulevard. While most areas on El Camino College have good lighting, this walkway is one of the few to not have any lights, the only light source here coing from the streets or the lights set up in the courtyard in front of the new Administraion Building.
