Scope of Work: Review and validate device connections associated with the upgrades to the electrical infrastructure throughout the buildings.

Reason for Project: Work associated with the Electrical Infrastructure Upgrades project in support of current campus needs and future growth.

Anticipated Impacts: In order to evaluate device connections safely, a planned electrical outage for the Atkinson Hall and North Education Distribution buildings is required. There will be periodic construction personnel traffic in and around the Atkinson Hall and North Education Distribution buildings throughout the entire duration of the work.

The outage will entail a total loss of power for the durations specified below, affecting systems such as heating and air, lighting, receptacle convenience power, card/access/access control, elevators, etc. It is highly recommended that sensitive equipment unable to withstand an outage should be powered down the day before to avoid unanticipated impacts to the equipment during the outage window.  

After the outage, users will be able to re-enter the buildings and confirm that power is restored, and systems are fully functional. Any issues should be communicated immediately to the project team using the contact information provided at the end of this notification.

** Please also note that the Atkinson Hall and North Education Distribution Buildings will be closed to the public throughout the outage window detailed below. **
