Generators in the buildings noted with an asterisk (*) will be tested as early in this timeframe as possible due to research schedules.
This testing will only affect the electrical services tied to each building’s generator, not the entire building. There will be a slight “blip” lasting approximately one half of a second as the electrical service transfers to the generator and another as it is transferred back to the normal building service. It is recommended you keep computer work in progress saved during this timeframe to prevent any possible data loss. Please let your fellow faculty and staff members know as necessary.
Since there are limited activities on campus at this time and the Spring storm season is upon us, we felt this was a good time to get this required testing completed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please call either Toby Buhrkuhl at (972) 832-1490 or Jeff Johnson at (817) 798-8456.
