Campus power outage slated for Nov. 27There will be a planned power outage for the entire UW-L campus, except for the Health Science Center, from approximately 7 a.m. to noon Friday, Nov. 27. Xcel Energy needs to make adjustments to the power supply to the campus and perform maintenance on the main campus electrical gear and has recommended to schedule these activities for the day after Thanksgiving. While a campus-wide outage can cause significant inconvenience, this date was chosen to minimize the impact for UW-L since classes are not held that day and it is a mandatory furlough day for university employees. During the power outage, there will be no electrical power or controlled heating and cooling available in campus buildings. The Physical Plant staff will contact departments that may have special needs during the campus power outage and will provide planning assistance. About a week prior to the Thanksgiving break, the campus community will receive updated information about the power outage and how it may or may not affect your work area. If you have immediate questions, contact the director of the Physical Plant, Hank Klos, at klos.henr@uwlax.edu or 785.8585. |
