It’s been eight months since a shooter entered Beam Hall on UNLV campus, shooting and killing three professors. He was shot and killed by police. Immediately after, the faculty asked for better security on campus.

When UNLV students return to Frank and Estella Beam Hall for classes in two weeks, nothing should look too different from last December — before the building was closed after a shooting spree that resulted in the death of three professors and left another severely wounded.

Frank and Estella Beam Hall at UNLV appears to look the same. Look closely, however, and you’ll notice the differences. About eight months after an active shooter on Dec. 6, 2023, killed three professors and wounded another in Beam Hall, the building is reopening for UNLV’s fall semester with $38 million in enhanced safety measures.

The fall semester here at UNLV begins on Aug. 26. That will be the first time students will be returning to Beam Hall. It's been closed since the shooting on Dec. 6, and staff has been working hard to make sure students and faculty feel safe.

Anyone entering UNLV’s Beam Hall will not notice any evidence of the deadly shooting in December 2023. Many damaged doors are repaired, and new security measures may be hard to spot. UNLV officials say keeping Beam Hall like it was before the shooting was intentional.

Beam Hall is the home of the Lee Business School at UNLV. It has several classrooms and faculty offices inside. This is where a deadly shooting happened on December 6, 2023, that left three dead and one wounded.

The site of a tragic shooting at UNLV last year reopened to the public Tuesday morning with new security features. It comes eight months after a shooter disgruntled over being rejected for a job killed three faculty members and left a fourth injured in Frank and Estella Beam Hall during a campus shooting on Dec. 6, 2023. The building houses faculty offices and the business school.

For more than 30 years, Nevada has asked households to recycle 25 percent of qualified materials — plastics, paper, aluminum and more. It’s not a mandate. And in 2021, Nevada’s division of environmental protection said 24 percent had been reached. That means just one out of four recyclable materials are thrown into the light-blue recycle bin in Southern Nevada. Part of the reason it might not be more is that people still have questions over what is and what isn’t recyclable.

Many if not all apartments or condos do not offer recycling services. When Las Vegas valley resident Jennifer Turchin wants to recycle she drives to the north part of town to drop off recycling items.
