Buildings Campus-Wide: September Generator Testing

–

Generator testing

What is being done?

Testing of the life-safety generators, as a monthly requirement of the National Fire Protection Agency.

Each generator will be tested ONCE monthly. Testing will take place Monday through Friday, from 6:15 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. (unless otherwise indicated). Crews will begin Tuesday, September 7, and conclude on Thursday, September 30.

Specific building dates and times can be found here: https://ipf.msu.edu/monthly-generator-test-schedule. This page is updated each month.

How will this impact building occupants?

Power will be interrupted to all equipment on the life-safety generator (stairwell lighting, exit lights, fire alarm systems, phone systems, etc.). This shutdown will not affect normal building power.
