Electrical outage planned for Woolf Hall
|
The Office of Facilities Management has finalized the schedule for the replacement and upgrade of the main electrical switchgear and motor controls in Woolf Hall from 6 a.m Monday, March 15, until the afternoon of Saturday, March 20.
The building’s emergency generator will be operational for fire and life safety equipment along with very minimal building lighting. As part of this project, we are upsizing the building’s emergency generator to support future research activities.
Please save any computer work or data to prevent possible loss. Turn off all electronic equipment; it does not need to be unplugged.
Contact either Toby Buhrkuhl at 972-832-1490 or Jeff Johnson at 817-798-8456 to arrange temporary generators to support research or with questions or concerns.
