Sand Barrels

When there is heavy snowfall, it is not possible for staff to remove all the snow immediately. It can take several days, depending on the amount of snow. Residents should always use care when walking. Residents are responsible for removing snow from the entranceways to their apartments and from their own parking stalls. In University Houses, in some places this includes the narrow pathway out to the main sidewalk.

When clearing snow from your car and stall, please be careful not to block other cars, shovel the snow into other parking stalls, or onto sidewalks. Snow should be piled away from the parking lot and off of any paved surfaces.

Sand can be sprinkled on slippery areas. Sand barrels are located throughout the complex; see the map below. Use as needed on slippery spots. If you choose to use your own salt, please use it sparingly to avoid excess runoff into the lakes.
