Campus Community,

This message is to serve as a reminder that brief electrical disruptions resulting from repair and investigative efforts will occur over the winter break between Dec. 26 and Dec. 30. For a list of buildings that will be impacted by the electrical disruptions, or power blips, click here<http://uhhelpdesk.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvNE~wqCDv8S~xb~Gv9a~yKYIM8qmM37JIQHVT7~Pv~O&2=14773>.

Building backup generators will be online during the electrical blips, which will occur as systems are transferred to generator power. Once the work is completed, blips will occur as the campus electrical feeders are realigned and balanced. Impacts will be to intermediate distribution frame (IDF) equipment, computers, lab research equipment and any instrument that is not on an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).

We are encouraging everyone to make any necessary arrangements to protect equipment during these power disruptions. So if you have any equipment you feel will be sensitive to the power blips, take precautions if your work/research allows by turning off the equipment beforehand and turning it back on once power is restored.

The intent is not to disrupt research or teaching efforts. However, if any department determines that the scheduled power blips will be problematic and unacceptable, they should reach out so that efforts can be made to accommodate their needs.

In the unlikely event an unforeseen circumstance arises and it is determined that additional steps need to be implemented to ensure campus electrical systems remain intact, the UH Physical Recovery Building Priority and Power Restoration Protocol will be implemented.

Principal Project Manager Shannon Jones is leading the electrical outage and can be contacted at 301-412-3182 or sejones3 at central.uh.edu<mailto:sejones3 at central.uh.edu>. If additional support is required as far as any experiments or ongoing research, contact Facilities Management Executive Director Herman Taitt at 504-444-3294 or taitt at uh.edu<mailto:taitt at uh.edu>.

For assistance during the electrical disruptions, contact the Facilities Service Center at 713-743-4948.
