In order to repair damage from a lightning strike that occurred in January, the University has planned electrical maintenance to occur during spring break.
University buildings will experience planned electrical interruptions March 14, 15 and 16 to make necessary repairs to the electrical distribution system, as well as complete necessary preventative testing to the distribution system.
During these three days, building occupants can expect power interruptions (blips) of a few seconds' duration during building load transfers. Central Plant is going to pre-cool buildings; interior building temperatures and humidity may rise to an uncomfortable level on Friday, but should return to normal by Saturday and Sunday.
All buildings listed below will experience the blips unless otherwise communicated to you by Facilities Management staff.
These blips will occur during all times listed below:
- On Friday, March 14, between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
- On Saturday, March 15, between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
- On Sunday, March 16, between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.
If absolutely necessary, there may be additional blips during the day on Friday and Saturday. In the event that this occurs, appropriate building coordinators will be notified in advance of additional power blips.
Building occupants can help minimize the impact of the power outage by taking these two simple steps: please turn off electronic equipment to protect equipment and data; when a blip occurs, please check lab systems and equipment. Please Note: If you experience extended power outages during this period, please call the Facilities Service Center at 713-743-4948.
Facilities Management will have electrical and HVAC personnel on campus to monitor buildings and ensure that services are restored properly. A message will be sent out to the campus community once the repairs and maintenance are complete.
Facilities Management has been working with building coordinators since January to facilitate a smooth and seamless outage event with minimal impact to campus. We appreciate the patience of our university customers as we work to repair these vital systems.
If you have questions or need additional information regarding the power outage, please contact your building coordinator or Avinash Rahurkar, Interim Associate Director, Facilities Management, arahurka@central.uh.edu.
