TO:  Shutdown Group, Hamerschlag, Roberts, Scott, Wean

FROM:  Service Response Center

DATE:  September 9, 2022

SUBJECT: – Hamerschlag/Roberts/Scott/Wean Natural Gas Outage Discussion Meeting 9/13 10AM

Natural gas service to Hamerschlag, Roberts, Scott and Wean Halls needs to be turned off to allow the permanent connection of a gas main within the Scaife Hall construction area.  The duration of this outage and building closure will be 8 hours and will affect central natural gas.  Equipment connected directly to bottles of compressed gas will not be affected.

This outage will also affect the Wean Hall emergency generator, so Wean Hall will be closed (no occupancy) for the duration of the outage due to emergency egress lighting being impaired.  All other buildings can remain occupied during the natural gas outage.

The Scaife construction team will provide target dates and we assume the work will occur over a weekend.

There will be a ZOOM meeting on Tuesday, 9/13, at 10AM to discuss the details of this shutdown. 

Please send an email to Shannon Wetzel at swetzel@andrew.cmu.edu if you would like to be invited to this meeting.
