SUBJECT
Final Reminder: Planned Multiple Building Power Service Interruptions for Saturday 4/24
Please be advised a planned PD&C campus power project will impact various buildings on Saturday 4/24. Please read below for exact details.

PURPOSE:
As the campus continues to move forward with an extensive upgrade to our electrical infrastructure, creating more reliability, reducing unplanned outages, as providing flexibility for future growth we will have the following service interruptions (details below). This planned electrical work allows the campus to continue with balancing electrical power across major electrical switches, support the large-scale cabling upgrade underneath the highway for more secure campus connections with the city, eliminate primary power infrastructure immediately adjacent to the freeway, and allow us to have redundancy of campus electrical support in the near future.

Plans to perform these additional electrical infrastructure upgrades are scheduled for Saturday, April 24 from 6:30 am – 5:00 p.m.

Please review the details of the planned interruptions below:
