To: Engineering Building Users
From: Sarah Abdellatif, Substation A Communication Specialist/Program Analyst
Please be advised that Planning, Design & Construction will be performing a project that may impact you. Below are the details of the scope of work and anticipated impacts:
Scope of Work: Replace existing electrical transformer within room 118A in the Engineering Building.
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, an existing transformer located in room 118A will need to be replaced. This replacement will result in a power outage, causing a temporary loss of power for rooms on the first floor of the Engineering Building including rooms 101A, 101B, 101C, 101D, 101E, 101ES, 101F, 101G, 101H, 103, 103C, 105, 105A, 105B, 105C, 120, 122, 123, and 123A. The outage will affect systems such as heating and air, lighting, receptacle convenience power, card/access control, and more.
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. After each outage, users will be able to re-enter their space and confirm that power is restored and fully functional. Any issues should be promptly communicated to the project team using the contact information provided below.
Additionally, there will be periodic construction personnel traffic in the external hallway in front of the aforementioned labs, as well as in internal hallway 100 and room 104 throughout the entire duration of the work.
**Please note that the building will be closed to the public throughout the outage window noted below. **
Start Time / Date: 06:00 AM, Saturday, October 19, 2024
