After a grueling week and weekend of welcoming new and returning students to the campus, they were faced Sunday morning with a massive tree limb that had fallen across Montague Drive, near the Wright Center.  Throughout the day—Sunday—they dealt with other issues across campus.  Then last night—Sunday night—a transformer failed near Lakeshore Drive and most of the campus was without power.  Alabama Power responded as quickly as possible, assisted by our facilities management team members, who then had to go building-by-building to reset equipment.  Today, without having had time to rest, they’ll tackle whatever comes their way.  When you cross paths with them, please offer a word of thanks.     

The world is better because of Samford’s staff in facilities management.
