Upcoming Impacts

The relocation of the SDG&E electrical pole to the Engineering Building courtyard will require the courtyard to be temporarily closed with construction fencing. The courtyard closure will impact the ADA path of travel through the courtyard, but other alternate ADA paths of travel will remain accessible. During active construction for relocation of the pole, the following impacts are anticipated: • For potholing and augering activities, a number of ADA parking spots in the Engineering Building lot will be temporarily closed for one day. • The parking lot behind the GMCS Building will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction truck parking and equipment traffic for one day. • Single lane closure in a portion of Aztec Circle to safely relocate the SDG&E pole to the Engineering Building courtyard. Thru traffic will be maintained. Please heed the directions and instructions of signage and flaggers in the area.

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.

Work will require construction personnel to occupy equipment rooms 194, 194A, 195 & 195A. Please be advised that work will result in localized dust and noise, but there are no anticipated impacts to any building systems.

Due to ongoing electrical upgrades in the Life Sciences South (LSS), construction trucks and equipment will intermittently park near the Vegetation Garden between LSN and LSS. Construction fencing housing the temporary transformer will be set up near the existing electrical enclosure at LSS. Please be advised that work will result in localized dust and noise.

Due to a crane pick activity scheduled to place a transformer in the Bioscience Breezeway the Avenue of the Arts will be temporarily closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic for the duration specified below. The accessible path of travel will be rerouted using signage. Please heed the direction and instruction of flaggers in the area.

As part of the campus electrical upgrades project, a planned electrical outage 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. ** Duration of Impacts: The outage schedule is as follows: 1. On Monday, September 30th, 2024, from 3:30 am to 7:30 am 2. On Friday, October 18th, 2024, from 3:30 am to 7:30 am 3. On Thursday, October 24th, 2024, from 3:30 am to 7:30 am

The concrete pour for the transformer curb in electrical room 469C will result in minor impacts, including the presence of construction personnel, localized dust, and noise. However, there are no significant impacts expected for occupants, nor are there any anticipated outages to building systems.

The demolition of existing medium voltage cables will intermittently impact vehicular access on Avenue of the Arts. Flagmen will manage traffic flow in alternating directions to maintain vehicular access, while alternate pedestrian and accessible paths will be clearly marked with signage and directed by flagmen. No significant impacts to pedestrian or ADA paths are anticipated. Please note that the work may generate localized dust and noise, but it is not expected to affect utility services.

Construction personnel will occupy electrical room 2A for the duration of the work. Additionally, construction traffic will occur within the Physics Workshop/Storage Room 1 and the service elevator to the basement. However, hallway access for occupants will be maintained. Please note that this work may generate localized dust and noise.
