Upcoming Impacts
Life Sciences South (LSS) & Growth Chamber - Building Outages - On 10/15/2024, 11/05/2024, and 11/21/2024
Oct 15As 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 also note that the Life Sciences South (LSS) & Growth Chamber will be closed to the public throughout the outage window detailed below. ** Duration of Impacts: The outage schedule is as follows: 1. Tuesday, October 15th, 2024, from 3:30 am to 7:30 am All building systems and equipment will experience a 2-hour outage within the communicated 4-hour timeframe without the support of emergency power. 2. Tuesday, November 5th, 2024, from 4:00 am to 6:00 am All building systems and equipment will experience a 2-hour outage without the support of emergency power. 3. Thursday, November 21st, 2024, from 4:00 am to 6:00 am The outage will only impact systems and equipment not supported by the emergency generator. Equipment plugged into designated outlets supported by the emergency generator will only experience a brief interruption.

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.
UPDATE - Loss of Redundancy in Power Generation - All Campus - On 10/10/2024
Oct 10Occupants should be aware that normal cogeneration redundancy will be temporarily unavailable for the full campus. Although the likelihood of a utility interruption during this maintenance period is low while the campus is utilizing power from SDG&E, it is recommended that any sensitive equipment be shut down prior to the scheduled maintenance period in an abundance of caution.

All Campus Users - From 10/07/2024 to 02/05/2025
Oct 7The 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.
