UFV prepares for first day of classes and deals with storm recovery

As communities in the Fraser Valley recover from the ice and snow storms of last week and UFV prepares to open to studnets on Jan. 3, the UFV Facilities team is dealing with several high-priority maintenance and repair issues caused by the severe weather.

Please exercise caution and allow extra time when travelling to, and around, UFV campuses.

We’re working carefully under icy conditions to address immediate safety concerns first and to ensure all buildings have adequate heat while we clear pathways and parking lots of the snow and ice. We’re working with contractors for certain repairs and they are dealing with multiple priorities, so your patience is appreciated.

Ice has damaged many trees on the Abbotsford campus and trees and branches are down across pathways. Please respect caution tape and walk around it. You may have to take an alternate route from building to building as we clear pathways.

To report a storm-related problem, or if you have an urgent Facilities request, please call the Facilities Service Desk at 604-854-4542.

Other requests should be submitted via email facilitiesservicedesk@ufv.ca or by using the Facilities Work Request form located here.

Thank you for your consideration and your understanding as we work to recover from the storm.

Sincerely,

Mark Goudsblom

Director, (interim Security and Emergency Management), Campus Planning and Facilities Management
