Campus Closure Jan 16, 2024
Lions,
After yesterday鈥檚 snowfall and the severe cold temperatures that followed, the safety of roads, sidewalks, and parking lots has been severely impacted. After examining the 鈥檚 predictions for overnight temperatures in the single digits and in consultation with local law enforcement, the 91免费福利网 Emergency Management Team has made the decision to close the campus and cancel all classes typically held in person and online for Tuesday, January 16, 2024. We will announce a decision regarding Wednesday operations by 4 p.m. tomorrow.
This is not a remote pivot. Employees will be paid using Inclement Weather Leave, which will be added to Workday by the Department of Human Resources. Employees should NOT enter their own inclement weather leave. Campus buildings will be locked with the exception of the Boreham Library 24-hour lab, the Lion鈥檚 Den dining hall, and campus housing.
Employees who have questions about their specific work should contact their direct supervisors.
Additional information is below:
Campus Safety:
University Police will remain on campus to assist with emergencies and will continually evaluate the condition of roads and sidewalks on campus. UPD can be contacted at their non-emergency line: 788-7140 or upd@uafs.edu
Plant Operations:
Plant Operations staff will be on call as needed to check buildings on campus for winter-weather-related issues or respond to facility repair needs, as well as ensure sidewalks are cleared for campus residents.
Boreham Library:
The Boreham Library will be closed. Students will still have access to the 24-hour lab.
Housing and Dining:
Each housing facility will have a Resident Assistant (RA) on call throughout the closure to assist with resident needs.
The Lion鈥檚 Den Dining Hall will transition to Brunch (10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and Dinner (4:30-6 p.m.) hours, and the Campus Center Food Court will close. Food options will be limited because the regular food delivery truck cannot reach campus today.
Additional Facility Closures:
Classes will not be held at the PEAK Innovation Center, the Center for Economic Development at the Bakery District, or the Little Lions Child Development Center.
Future Updates:
The best way to receive information regarding inclement weather and other emergency operations is through your university email and .
Official campus updates will be sent via email, and the 91免费福利网 webpage and social media accounts will feature notices regarding changes to campus operations.
We will continue to monitor the weather and send updates to our operations. Stay safe, Lions
