Please be advised that commissioning and testing of the new Coleman Building emergency generator will take place on Wednesday, April 23. The anticipated impact to building power is expected to be minimal. The switchover from regular to backup power is expected to last approximately 8 to 10 seconds. The Facilities department does not expect significant disruption to building power. However, to err on the side of caution, building occupants and individuals with equipment (e.g., freezers) in the Coleman Building are advised to plan experiments accordingly and to inspect any equipment to confirm proper operation after the switchover.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Mr. Edwin Jeffres, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Facilities, at ejeffres@uthsc.edu.
