Students returning this fall may have noticed something new downtown: A large hole in the Commons’ facade where Simeon’s Restaurant once was.

Most of the walls have been replaced with boards, the result of an accident on June 20, in which a runaway tractor-trailer killed one and injured several as it into Simeon’s Restaurant on the corner of Aurora and East State Street.
