Several Brock University buildings will be closed overnight from Friday, May 8 at 6 p.m. to Saturday, May 9 at 10 a.m. for scheduled annual maintenance to Brock’s electrical systems.

Part of Brock’s full-scale infrastructure maintenance cycle, the shutdown will affect the following Group B buildings:

• Rankin Family Pavillion
• Schmon Tower
• Thistle Complex
• Decew Residence
• Alphies Trough
• Vallee Residence
• Central Utilities Building
• Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts

These buildings will be closed with no access permitted during this time. All doors will be locked, and swipe card access will be unavailable.

Network access, including both wired and wireless connections, will go offline at 6 p.m. Friday and will return shortly after power is restored Saturday morning.

Employees, students and faculty using the spaces listed above are reminded to shut down computers, printers and sensitive equipment and to clean out fridges to prevent food spoilage.

Brock’s main campus will experience two short power outages during this scheduled maintenance — one Friday night and a second Saturday morning. In the unlikely event that power cannot be restored to the areas listed above  by 10 a.m., an email will be sent from Facilities Management with further information.

For emergency-only access to any of the affected areas, contact Campus Safety Services at 905-688-5550 x3200.
