Reporting icy patches and other winter concerns

  • If you see icy patches this winter, call and make a report to Public Safety at 612-330-1717 and the report will be shared with Facilities to address.
  • The Facilities team is preparing for winter weather, which involves getting snow removal equipment ready and doing maintenance on the equipment.
  • Please put in a custodial request to refill gel hand sanitizer in building dispensers if they’re empty as well as for more disinfectant wipes, towels, and spray for cleaning up common spaces in offices and similar shared spaces after use.
  • Hand sanitizer tip: Use an eighth of a pump to avoid getting too much hand sanitizer.
  • HEPA Air Purifiers are being used in classrooms and run 24 hours daily. These are not required and can be turned down or off during class and turned back on afterward.
  • HVAC systems are bringing in fresh air 24 hours a day. All Minneapolis campus buildings had new filters installed this summer and MERV 13 high-grade air filters will be installed as they become available in fall.
  • All staff, faculty and students must wear face coverings while in any common areas on Augsburg property. Physical distancing protocols are in place in classrooms and other spaces.
