Snow Clearing Update

During the break, all large snow drifts and large areas of deep snow were cleared from the roofs as recommended by a structural engineer. This work was done as a preventative measure; there were no structural integrity issues.

The specific areas where snow was removed included the area above the auditorium lobby, along the corridor from A11 entrance to F2 entrance, the rear side of the dining hall, and the D wing. The areas around all heating, ventilating and air conditioning units were cleared.

In addition, snow piles that created blind spots for drivers and pedestrians in the parking lots and driveways were removed or pushed back.

Throughout the many snow events that have occurred this year, all exits from all buildings have been kept completely clear of snow and ice for safe egress in the case of an emergency.
