What to Do Before You Leave for the Winter Closure 

• Ensure that all building windows are shut. If you see one open, please close it. 
• Exit doors should not be propped open. Please ensure they are shut. 
• Please ensure trash bins are emptied before you leave for the break, as Physical Facilities Management staff will be significantly reduced starting Monday, December 16, 2024, and your office/building may be inaccessible over the closure. 
• Please turn off all office, classroom, and conference room lights and equipment that are not in use. Back up all current projects and work. 
• Please unplug computers, printers, and other personal devices, as power surges may cause damage. Further, this is a cybersecurity safety measure. 
• Please remove food items from refrigerators and offices as they may attract insects, rodents, or other pests. 
• Personal heaters are not allowed per the University policy, so no personal heaters should be plugged in. 
• Please take the necessary precautions related to lab safety. 

What to Expect During the Campus Closure 

• Unless designated as an essential employee, employees are not expected to travel to IMÌåÓý¹ÙÍø to work.

  All buildings will be secured and locked, except for those that were designated as accessible over the break. That announcement will be made after requests to access buildings over the break are received and approved. 

Essential Operations

• The Department of Public Safety will provide continuous safety/security coverage and building access to permitted employees during the closure. Enterprise Technology Services will conduct scheduled maintenance over the break, which will result in planned disruptions to IT-related services. 
• iLab will be closed during winter break; there will be no help desk support during the same period. 
• Physical Facilities Management maintenance and services will continue to respond to urgent situations and emergencies as work orders are submitted.
