The UIS Peoria Center was previously located on the ICC campus in East Peoria.
According to the Dean of the College of Business Management, moving downtown provides convenience and affordability for those seeking a bachelors or M.B.A.
He says in these economic times, it's important for Peoria to have affordable public education in the heart of the city.
The Peoria Center was featured in an October 29, 2009 report on WEEK-TV and WHOI-TV.

Trick-or-Eat competition to collect canned goods
The Volunteer and Civic Engagement Center at the University of Illinois Springfield will sponsor a Trick-or-Eat competition to collect canned goods Saturday.
The event is part of the UIS Holiday Stars Project. The overall goal is to collect 4,500 of pounds of food for the Central Illinois Foodbank by Dec. 3.
Teams of UIS students have been assigned to neighborhoods where they will collect non-perishable food items. The teams have already canvassed the neighborhoods, distributing collection bags, along with door hangers that explain the project.
The article was featured in an October 29, 2009 edition of the State Journal-Register.

Best of Springfield 2009: Best Theatrical Production - Drama
BEST THEATRICAL PRODUCTION - DRAMA
As You Like It
University of Illinois at Springfield
Shakespeare’s tale of love, deception and cross-dressing has been performed many times, many ways, in many places. For the first time ever, UIS was the stage, and its students not-so-merely the players. Associate Professor of Theatre, Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson tells us that the show came about as schoolwork. “For the 2008-2009 school year, my idea was to offer, in tandem, a Shakespeare class and a Shakespeare production.” The class, “Playing Shakespeare,” was offered for the first time in the fall of 2008 and by spring, they were ready to take the stage, with Thibodeaux-Thompson encouraging his students to audition. “We had a total of 18 actors in 23 roles. Approximately 80 percent were students, with 20 percent community actors, faculty and alumni. I enjoy a mix of students and community actors. I was very proud in a lot of ways.”
The honor was given the the Illinois Times in an October 29, 2009 edition.
