Scope of Work: Install temporary power and upgrade 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: As part of the campus electrical upgrades project, a set of planned electrical outages for the building is required. There will be periodic construction personnel traffic in and around the building 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 building 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 note that the outage only impacts systems and equipment not supported by the emergency generator. Any equipment plugged into designated outlets supported by the emergency generator will only experience a brief interruption. Please also note that the Donald P. Shiley Bioscience Center will be closed to the public throughout the outage window detailed below. **
