Please be advised; there will be a 2 parts electrical shutdown at the McIntyre Building on Tuesday December 13th from 3:00am to 7:00am affecting various sectors of the McIntyre building.

First Part of the Shutdown: 3:00am to 7:00am

First part will consist of performing preventative maintenance on the main breakers affecting ONLY HALF of the McIntyre electrical power on the 110V-220V, (most of the north side on all floors).  During this shutdown Emergency Power will be fully functional throughout the building.  During this phase, NOT affected until 5:00 am are ventilation and cooling.

Second Part of Shutdown: 5:00am to 7:00am

Second part of the shutdown consists of replacing cables between the main breaker and the condensers finalizing the electrical upgrade. During these two hours, the Emergency Power will remain functional; affected (down) will be ventilation and cooling.

These shutdowns are necessary for Facilities to perform both preventative work and to finalize electrical upgrades of the electrical system.

PLEASE TAKE NECESSARY ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIMENTS.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation.
