Facilities Notices

The existing double-ended 13.2 KV switchgear is scheduled to be replaced over the next few months. The switchgear is located on the west side of Stratton’s first floor and supports several buildings: Stratton Hall, Disque Hall, Korman Center, Creese Student Center, MacAlister Hall, Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building, Gerri C. LeBow Hall, and Pearlstein Business Learning Center. There will be temporary switchgear located outdoors on the west side of the building to pickup the electrical load for the section of gear being removed and reinstalled. There will also be undergrounds site work completed on the west side of the building to Chestnut Street. The construction schedule for power shutdowns is currently being reviewed and will be finalized this week. I will send an email to all Deans/SVPs/AVPs and secondary contacts for departments within the above lsited buidlings. YOUR BUILDING WILL ONLY HAVE NO POWER FOR A 6 TO 8 HOUR PERIOD DURING SWITCHOVERS FROM EXISTING TO TEMPORARY AND FROM TEMPROARY TO NEW. If you are in any of the buildings listed above please start reviewing your equipment to determine if additional temporary generators, power, etc. are required. Seperate Scheduled Maintenance notifications will be sent once the schedule is finalized.
