Snow and Ice Removal Operations

With a dedicated team of 300 members—including building service personnel, drivers, grounds workers, operating engineers, and support staff—F&S will active snow and ice removal operations working in shifts around the clock to ensure campus accessibility. 

F&S is responsible for clearing over 90 miles of sidewalks, 23 miles of roadways, 16,000 parking spaces, and entrances to more than 200 university buildings. This extensive task requires careful preparation and coordination to maintain safe pathways for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Additionally, F&S works closely with municipal partners in Champaign and Urbana to address areas where jurisdictional responsibilities overlap, ensuring that both city and campus roadways are cleared in a timely manner. 

Snow and Ice Reporting Tool 

If you encounter areas that need attention, please report those locations by using the Snow and Ice Reporting Tool. You’ll be asked to provide the location, type of issue, and your contact information for follow-up, if needed. This tool is intended for use after storm events, allowing crews to prioritize areas within the campus’ jurisdictional areas that need repeated clearing.
