Notice of Power Interruptions and Building Closures

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

To restore power lines that were damaged during a power outage on April 16, Campus Utilities and Facilities Management will twice need to temporarily turn off all power to a number of campus buildings as they make repairs. During these times, building occupants will not be allowed to enter the impacted buildings and parking lots (see list below) for any reason.

The first occurrence will take place beginning at 11 p.m. on Friday, May 31 through 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 1. Prior to the planned outage, impacted buildings will be closed to occupants during the following hours:

• Science & Engineering Laboratory East, Science & Engineering Laboratory West and Engineering Research Facility will be closed to all occupants beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday, May 31 through 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.
• Student Center East/Student Center East Tower will be closed to occupants beginning at 10 p.m. on Friday, May 31 through 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.
• The Student Recreation Facility will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday, May 31 through 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.
• All other impacted academic buildings and parking lots will be closed to all occupants beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 31 through 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.

In addition, because electricians will need to install temporary wiring to critical equipment in advance of the first power interruption, all classes in the Science & Engineering Laboratory East (SELE), Science & Engineering Laboratory West (SELW) and Engineering Research Facility (ERF) buildings will be relocated on May 31. Class relocations include:

The impacted buildings and parking lots include:

• Lecture Center Building A (LCA) at 805 S. Morgan St. (Building 604A)
• Lecture Center Building B (LCB) at 803 S. Morgan St. (Building 604B)

The second occurrence will take place beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 through 7 a.m. on Sunday, June 9. Prior to the planned outage, buildings will be closed to occupants during the following hours:

• Science & Engineering Laboratory East, Science & Engineering Laboratory West, Engineering Research Facility, and all other impacted academic buildings and parking lots will be closed to all occupants beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 through 7 a.m. on Sunday, June 9.
• Student Center East/Student Center East Tower will be closed to occupants beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 through 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 9.
• The Student Recreation Facility will be closed from 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 through 12 p.m. on Sunday, June 9.

Department representatives and building managers have already begun preparing occupants with critical power requirements for these outages.

During the planned power downtime, blue lights located on some Startel emergency call boxes will not be lit, however, the emergency call buttons will remain connected to UIC Police. UIC students and employees can access UIC Police or manage a virtual walk with a friend through the UIC SAFE mobile app on their smartphones. The app is a one-stop shop that puts all campus safety and emergency preparedness information.

If for any reason this work cannot be performed as scheduled, June 7 and June 15 have been identified as back up dates for the power interruptions.

Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated as we restore our campus buildings to normal electrical service. If you have questions during the scheduled power interruptions and building closures, please call 312-996-7511.

Sincerely,

John Coronado
Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services
