REMINDER – There will be a full building power shut down at Wean Hall starting at 4PM on Friday, 5/16, and ending by 12PM (noon) on Sunday, 5/18 for the Wean Hall transformer replacement.  


The Scott Hall nano lab will experience a loss of power during the first two hours and last two hours – (5/16 from 4PM – 6PM and 5/18 from 10AM – 12PM).


Emergency generators will be running if you have equipment on emergency power. Occupants in surrounding buildings may smell the exhaust fumes due to the generator running.


WEAN HALL WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE OUTAGE.


Please contact Bob Penn, FMS Metering and Automation Systems Engineer, at 412-251-2658 or rpenn@andrew.cmu.edu for any questions or concerns regarding this shutdown.
