The passenger elevator for the Opera Center is currently out of service do to an operational malfunction. A technician from Minnesota Elevators Inc. is already onsite troubleshooting the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimate for when elevator service will be restored, but we will keep you posted as the situation develops.

Our partners from the Minnesota Safety Council will be onsite Tuesday 2/4 and Wednesday 2/5, helping us to evaluate our buildings from a safety and compliance perspective. Adam will be accompanying them through all areas of the Opera Center, Luminary, and Warehouse over this two-day visit. They will be taking detailed notes on each space, using those notes to research relevant codes and standards on our behalf, and then preparing a report for us letting us know both what we’re already getting right and some ways we might make improvements.

This is a separate effort from the McGough evaluation, but will go hand-in-hand with it. It will also harmonize nicely with the work of our in-house Safety Committee. We’re grateful and excited to have the MSC as new partners in our good work! 

We’ll be paying close attention to the callboard/daily calendars as I bring folks through our campus. Feel free to drop us a line of there’s anything going on in your spaces of which I should be aware.

Thanks, as always, for your cooperation and support!
