Emergency and Security Information

Emergency: Dial "911" in an emergency, both on the U of MN campus phone system and the regular public phone system. This number should be used in any emergency for the quickest response from police, fire department, or an ambulance. For assistance with urgent, but non-emergency, problems, appropriate contact information can be obtained from campus Information by dialing "0" in the U of MN campus phone system.

Medical Emergencies: Check your medical insurance before an emergency to determine which hospital you should go to. An option on the University of Minnesota campus is the emergency room at the University Hospital. It is located at the corner of Harvard St. S.E. and East River Road. (They do have adjacent parking.) If the hospital does not take your insurance they will bill you for their services.

Emergency Exit at Lind Hall: There are two exits from the IMA offices on the fourth floor of Lind Hall. In the case of an emergency, please use either of the two stairways located on the north and south ends of the IMA office area. DO NOT use the elevator in the event of a fire.

Office Keys/Access Card at Lind Hall: An office key, security access card, or building key will be provided for you, and signed out in your name for your use during your stay. Please return them to the IMA Main Office before you leave. The IMA operates from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. You must have an access card to unlock the security doors in the north or south stairwell and elevator at all times. If you require special accommodations, please see the staff in 114 Lind Hall.

Lind Hall building hours are 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Lind Hall is closed Saturday and Sunday. If you will need access to the building during a time it is not open, please ask the staff about obtaining an outside building key.

Due to the open environment of the IMA and the problems with theft on campus, we ask that you please honor our access policy. Please do not let others into the IMA after hours or loan your card to anyone. Do not prop the stairwell doors open.

Security Reminder: When you are not in your office, please keep your office door locked for safe keeping of your personal items and IMA equipment. Unfortunately, we have not been immune to security problems and will appreciate your assistance. If you see someone in IMA office space, lounge, etc, who you believe is not associated with the IMA please inform the staff in the main office immediately so we can report it.
