Electrical upgrade delayed

An electrical upgrade with a power outage set for Monday, Jan. 11, is on hold because of Oncor's emergency storm response in East Texas.

A 48-hour notice will be given when the upgrade and power outage is rescheduled.

The buildings affected by the outage are Arlington Hall, CAPPA (Architecture), Chemistry & Physics, College of Business, College Hall, Earth & Environmental Sciences (Geoscience), Engineering Lab, Fine Arts, Nanofab, Nedderman Hall, and Woolf Hall.

For those buildings equipped with emergency generators, the generators will be operational for fire and life safety equipment, limited building lighting, elevators, and any existing research equipment currently connected to the generators.

It is recommended you keep any computer work/data in progress saved during this timeframe to prevent any possible data loss. Also, to prevent any possible damage, we recommend you turn off all electronic equipment including computers, scanners, and copiers. These devices do not need to be unplugged from their electrical outlets.
