The Campus and Community (C&C) Utilities team will carry out planned electrical maintenance in July to help maintain the reliability of campus electrical systems.
As part of this work, some buildings will experience multiple momentary power interruptions of approximately 1–3 minutes each. Kindly take all necessary precautions in advance to minimize disruption to your systems and activities.
Please ensure that all critical systems are safely shut down prior to the maintenance window, and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent data loss or potential equipment impact.
If you work in one of the affected buildings, please save your work, shut down critical equipment where necessary, and take steps to protect any systems that could be affected by a temporary loss of power.
