TO:  Shutdown Group, Scaife Hall

FROM:  Service Response Center

DATE:  October 14, 2023

SUBJECT: Partial Power Loss Scaife Hall of Engineering 

 

The transformer providing 120/208 power to the first and second floor of Scaife Hall has failed.  Plug power on these floors is not available although the lights will work since those come from a different power source.  This affects all power on these floors including Redhawk Coffee.  FMS and contractor personnel are responding to determine how service can be restored in the short term while a replacement transformer is ordered and shipped.


Further updates will be sent our as more information becomes available.  For more information, please contact Martin Altschul at ma3q@andrew.cmu.edu or (412) 527-5686
