🗓️ Building-Specific Outages July 10 - 20
Each building on campus will experience specific, shorter outages between July 10 and 20 when individual equipment is replaced in each building. Buildings will experience a shorter outage near the beginning of the maintenance period listed for their building as centralized hardware is replaced, and then another longer outage later in the maintenance period when individual building or floor hardware is updated.
Note: Unexpected technical issues have shifted the building schedule. An updated schedule was posted on July 12. The project team has made adjustments based around key dates for buildings and events. This schedule is subject to change as work continues.
