Facilities Services would like to ask for patience and cooperation as our crews work to remove the accumulation of leaves around campus. This necessary job is often dictated by traffic flow, time of day and wind direction. There may be times when it will be necessary for us to temporarily block off a lane of a road or several parking spaces or even a sidewalk until we can remove a pile of leaves. With a little cooperation from everyone we will get the job done as safely and as quickly as possible.

We also would like to remind all faculty and staff that even though the weather has been mild lately, cold temperatures are right around the corner. A beautiful fall day may be followed by a night that’s cold enough to produce frost and ice. Please keep this in mind and watch your step in the parking lots and on sidewalks. We strive to address icy areas as soon as possible, but it takes time for salt and ice melt to do their job.
