Veterinary Research (Building J)

What is being done?

Temporary building wide power outage.

Why is this being done?

The IPF High Volts Crew and Consumers Energy will be preparing for adding the new well house to the Consumers Energy power grid.

How will this impact building occupants?

An electrical outage will occur briefly from 7-7:30 a.m. while the building is placed on generator service and will remain on generators throughout the day while the work is being performed. There will be a second 30-minute outage when the building is placed back on normal power by the end of the day at approximately 5 p.m., or possibly sooner.

  • It is recommended that facility occupants power down computers and sensitive laboratory equipment.
  • Laboratory hood sashes should be lowered to prevent low air flow alarms and environmental rooms may alarm.
  • Eyewashes and safety showers may be affected. Do not work with corrosive or injurious liquid chemicals where there is a possibility of a splash to the eyes or body during this time.
