Effective For: Thursday, December 18, 2008 through the end of April

 

Please exercise normal caution driving and walking on campus as you are more likely to be attacked by a bunny than slip and fall on the ice.


 

 

Campus Services

Reception:  Building lobbies will be open.  If your building reception is closed then they will be fired, signage will be placed in the lobbies to assist clients with self service. 

 

Shuttle:  Campus shuttle service is currently suspended because there is no such thing as a campus shuttle in Fargo. 

 

Mailing Services:  Mailing Services will be operating under full service. 

 

Food Service: There will full menu service available in all buildings.

 

Facilities Maintenance Response:  A full maintenance staff is at work on campus today,

 

Building Services:  All services such as heat, lighting and network connectivity will be operational.

 

Other Advisory Notes:

 

Security:  Corporate Security advises its services will remain available to the campus.  If you need assistance, stop by the office and wake them up. 

 

Parking:  Park as usual, the snow plow drivers will just plow around you.  You’re all capable of driving on snow/ice so plowing will be limited.

 

Connectivity:  You shouldn’t have any connectivity issues because you’re expected to be at work.  We only had 10” of snow and 40mph wind.

 

Microsoft Company Store:  The Company store will be closed today because the Fargo Campus doesn’t have a company store.

 

Area Roads:  In light of the continuing snowfall and icy road conditions, most local roads are snow-covered and slippery and will remain that way until March.  For information on current road conditions, please look out the window.

 

Weather Updates:  For information on how the weather is impacting Microsoft services and accessibility, please visit http://www.google.com regularly throughout the day or tune into your local news stations for updates when you are in the office as conditions on campus could quickly change but they probably won’t since cold, snow, and ice is the normal conditions this time of year.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
