The Northeastern community sprung into action to keep campus safe and running as a powerful snowstorm pounded the Boston area, with the university’s facilities crews, public safety officials, dining services, and others working around the clock. Day and evening classes are canceled and business offices are closed Wednesday at Northeastern’s Massachusetts campuses.

Snow removal teams worked tirelessly Monday and all day Tuesday across Northeastern’s Massachusetts campuses to keep pace with the intense snowstorm, which dumped more than two feet of snow or more in many areas and also brought heavy winds. Teams focused on clearing emergency access routes and pathways to residence halls Tuesday and will continue to dig out campus Wednesday, said Mark Boulter, director of building services for facilities.

“We’ve got a great, loyal team,” Boulter said. “In situations like this, the university community really comes together.”

Meanwhile, Northeastern Dining Services dished out 6,300 meals at International Village and Stetson East on Tuesday. Dining Services prepared for the storm by scheduling extra food deliveries ahead of time and coordinating for more than 30 staff to stay overnight Monday so they could arrive on campus at 7 a.m. Tuesday ready to begin serving meals. It was a classic “mise en place,” as Debra Fantasia, Chartwells marketing director and Xhibition Kitchen coordinator, put it—referring to the French phrase referring to how ingredients are organized and arranged ahead of time in the kitchen for the cook to prepare a meal.

“The team has been working very hard,” she said. “We have a very dedicated staff, and they want to be there.”

The Northeastern community also took to Twitter to thank everyone working to keep campus safe and running.
