Updated 11:45 a.m. Jan. 28: Crews are continuing to clean up broken branches and downed trees around campus, and expect to have most debris cleared away by the end of the day Friday.

“We are making good headway in cleaning the campus of all storm debris,” said Tyson Mantor, assistant director of the Arboretum and Public Garden.

He expects most areas to be cleaned by the end of today, with the exception of the Arboretum, Large Animal Clinic, Center for Equine Health, Primate Center and area around Kemper Hall.

Employees will be able to work overtime to help with the cleanup effort if they choose, Mantor said.
