Each department/division occupant in the Academic Office Building is assigned a mailslot in AOB mailroom AO-112. Concierge Services collects mail each workday between the Fairview mail room and the AOB mailroom AO-112. Mail is collected in the morning and sorted into the assigned mailslots. The mailroom is open and occupants are able to pick up mail throughout the day.
For planning purposes, note the mail schedule below:
Fairview outgoing / incoming mail processed in the Fairview mailroom: 2 -3 p.m. daily
AOB mail pick-up from / drop off to Fairview mail room: 8-10 a.m. daily
This means mail received into the afternoon to the Fairview mailroom will be available the next morning in the AOB mailroom, and that outgoing mail items left in the AOB mailroom will be sent out through the Fairview mailroom the following business day.
Time-sensitive mail should always be handled by the local department/division.
There is a postage meter available in AOB mailroom AO-112. Contact Concierge Services with your name, department/division, and chartstring in order to be set-up for use.
Most packages are received into the Fairview loading dock and then delivered to the AOB. Packages marked for the AOB but without a specific location will be available in mailroom AO-112. All non-urgent packages are generally dropped off at AO-102 for signature and will be placed in AO-112 for divisional pickup. Concierge services will notify recipient that a package was received. Time-sensitive packages have to be delivered to and signed for by the intended recipient unless prearranged with concierge services to have a plan for storage and delivery in place.
Concierge Services can receive package delivery as requested.
Due to the location of our building, there is no set address that brings vendors directly to our building entrance. Therefore, there are two food delivery options available.
First, food can be schedule for delivery at the address 2450 Riverside Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55454 and direct drivers to pull up into the traffic circle in front of the main hospital entrance. Those ordering food can then meet the vendor at the mail hospital entrance for handoff. As this entrance is easy to identify, these directions reduce confusion for drivers. Carts are available at AOB to help with transport of order upon request.
Second, food can be scheduled for delivery in the drop-off circle of the West Building and Adult ER. For this location, enter 2450 Riverside Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55454 as the delivery address and provide additional directions stating "Exit off of Riverside Ave on to 23rd Ave South. Once on 23th Ave S, turn right towards the Adult ER and park in the traffic circle directly in front of the West Building entrance". Those ordering food can then meet the vendor at the West Building entrance for handoff.
