Memorial Hall Elevator Out of Service this Summer

In order to comply with City of Minneapolis ordinances, the Memorial Hall elevator needs to have extensive modernization. The elevator will be out of service beginning in a few weeks (obviously NOT early June as first thought) for 12-14 weeks. If alternative access accommodations are anticipated for any staff, faculty, students, or customers, please contact Dennis Stuckey at 612-330-1033 as soon as possible.
