Thanksgiving week utility shutdowns

During Thanksgiving week, Facilities Planning & Management will be performing two projects that will impact select areas of campus.

Fire hydrant replacement Nov. 23
On Monday, Nov. 23, we’ll be replacing a fire hydrant near Olmsted. This project will cause the water to be shut off between 10 a.m.–3 p.m. to Aliber, Olmsted, and Hubbell.

  • Aliber – Faculty & staff will need to use restrooms in Meredith during this time.
  • Olmsted – Olmsted will be closed Nov. 23, but staff will need to use restrooms in Meredith during this time if they are in the office. The University Bookstore will remain open but will not be able to access the restrooms during this time.
  • Hubbell – Hubbell will still be providing meals per their regular schedule but restrooms will be unavailable from 10 a.m–3 p.m.
  • Quads – In addition, hot water to the Quads will be unavailable between approximately 10 a.m and 3 p.m.; cold water will still be available.

Electrical maintenance Nov. 25
On Wednesday, Nov. 25, FPM will be performing preventative maintenance on some of our electrical system from approximately 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. This work will cause a loss of power to the Fieldhouse, Bell Center, Olin and the north side of Fine Arts.
