These shutdowns are necessary to perform maintenance on two medium voltage circuits and will occur in two phases—one for investigation and another for execution.

 

The first shutdown is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, 6/19, from 6AM – 12PM (noon). The buildings will reopen earlier than noon if the investigation is completed quicker than planned. 

 

The date for the second shutdown has not been determined yet.  An update will be sent when that has been scheduled. We are tentatively looking to do the shutdown during the first week of July.

 

Please respond to Shannon Wetzel at swetzel@andrew.cmu.edu with any issues or concerns regarding the first shutdown scheduled for next Thursday, 6/19, by this Monday, 6/16.

TO:  Shutdown Group, CFA, HOA, Hunt, MMCH, Posner Hall, Posner

FROM:  Service Response Center

SUBJECT: CFA, HOA, Hunt, MMCH, Posner, Posner Hall-Power Shutdown Meeting


A preliminary planning meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 11, at 8 AM, to discuss two upcoming 8-hour power shutdowns that will impact the following buildings: CFA, HOA, Hunt, MMCH, Posner Center, and Posner Hall.

 

These shutdowns are necessary to perform maintenance on two medium voltage circuits and will occur in two phases—one for investigation and another for execution. While June 19 was initially proposed due to the university closure and CFA’s availability, we now need input from all affected buildings to determine the most suitable timing.


ALL SIX BUILDINGS WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE OUTAGE.


Please contact Kevin Shaffer, Senior Project Manager, at kevinsha@andrew.cmu.edu for any questions or concerns regarding these shutdowns.
