Facilities Planning and Management has scheduled an electrical outage for Wednesday November 27 that will affect all of campus, including the residential buildings. This outage is necessary to complete required annual preventative maintenance on the main switchgear which supplies power to a majority of the campus.

The outage is currently scheduled from 6:30am – 3:00pm and will affect all of campus.

As a result of this outage, there will be NO POWER, including the following:

• There will be no lighting, except emergency building lighting
• There will be no Wifi or Internet access
• Elevators will not run
• Booster pumps which supply hot water to showers will not function, meaning there may be no hot water for showers during this outage.

During this outage, campus dining facilities (including Hubbell and Olmsted Starbucks) will remain closed.

Facilities Planning and Management will have several staff members on campus during and after the outage to ensure power is restored, elevators are functional, and all HVAC systems are operational.
