In order to complete modifications to the campus infrastructure in support of the west campus construction projects, a temporary electrical outage for the entire Maverick Activities Center will be required and scheduled in two phases (this outage will also affect the Northwest Thermal Energy Plant). Facilities Management has scheduled Phase I of this outage for Sunday, March 5, 2017, beginning at 8:00 a.m. lasting until 12:00 noon. The building’s emergency generator will remain operational during this outage, but will support egress lighting and life safety only. No one will be allowed in the building without an escort from Facilities Management and/or the Police Department during this outage. Phase II will be scheduled in a couple of weeks, and an additional notice will be sent out as a date and time are determined.
To prevent any possible damage, we recommend you turn off all electronic equipment in the offices including computers, scanners, and copiers before leaving on Saturday evening (these devices do not need to be unplugged from their electrical outlets). Please let your faculty and staff members know as necessary.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, concerns, or special requirements during this time frame, please contact either Jeff Johnson, Facilities Management Director, at jljohnson@uta.edu or Toby Buhrkuhl, Facilities Management Electric Shop Supervisor, at tbuhrkuhl@uta.edu.
