CHARLESTON — The former bank at 580 W. Lincoln Ave. housed Lakeview College of Nursing's satellite campus for more than 15 years until it closed in May after the final cohort of Charleston nursing students graduated there.
Traffic on Lincoln Avenue/Illinois 16 passes by the former Lakeview College of Nursing satellite campus, 580 W. Lincoln Ave., on Wednesday. The Charleston school district has purchased this property and plans to move its administration building there.
Superintendent Chad Burgett is pictured Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025, in the former Lakeview College of Nursing satellite campus looking over plans for converting this facility into the Charleston school district's Administration Building. He is standing in a former classroom that the district plans to use for professional development purposes.
