College Park Center Concrete Pour
We have scheduled an early morning pour of the slab at Upper Level #3 and mud slab at the practice courts at the College Park Center site for Friday, December 17, 2010 at 2am. We will begin setting up equipment at 12:30 am with the concrete arriving to the site beginning at 2am. The concrete trucks will enter the site through Gate 1 off Pecan Street and exit the site through Gate 1 back onto Pecan Street. This 340cy pour should be completed prior to 7 am and is being made at night to minimize the concrete trucks mixing with the University traffic on Friday.

Electrical Outages
Facilities Management has three different electrical projects scheduled for the holiday break which requires a campus electrical outage for selected buildings. The primary electrical service to the buildings listed below will be off line starting at 6:00 a.m. Sunday December 26 to 6:00 p.m. that night. The outage is required because of safety issues related to working with energized high voltage lines.
The emergency generators will be operational in the buildings noted below to support life safety operations and on-going research if currently on an emergency circuit.

Life Science Generator Replacement
Because of some pre-work the contractor has reduced the electrical outage time on this project. The contractor has informed us that the project will only require two outages. On Saturday, December 18th the new generator will be delivered to the site, it will require about a three hour time frame to hook up the stand by emergency generator. During this time the primary electrical will be operational in the building, just without emergency power for a three hour time frame. Over the holiday break the contractor will need another three hour outage on the emergency generator to connect the new equipment to the building.
Because other campus infrastructures work, the electrical service to the building will be off from 6:00 a.m. Sunday, December 26th to 6:00 p.m. that night. All emergency circuits will be operational to support on-going research in the building.
If you haven’t contacted Facilities Management to double check that your required equipment is on an emergency circuit, please do so no later than Monday, December 13th. The building will remain closed to the public, but researchers will be allowed in the building with a University ID. Reminder signage is being placed at all the major entrances to the building.
Facilities Management would like to thank everyone in advance for supporting this long overdue electrical up-grade to the building. It’s always our goal to insure we have reliable, dependable infrastructure to support both research and the academic needs of the campus.
