  • Facilities Update – 4th Floor Schmon Tower – Planned Electrical Panel Shutdown for Breaker Installation – May 31

    Monday, May 29, 2023 | By

    Please be advised, on Wednesday, May 31 at 7:00 am, for approximately 30 minutes, a planned electrical panel shutdown will be taking place on the 4th floor of the Schmon Tower. This shutdown is necessary to facilitate the installation of new breakers as part of the ongoing ST402 SWAC Student Experience Improvement project. This outage will only impact occupants of the 4th floor.

    During the installation, the electrical panel supplying power to certain areas of the 4th floor will be temporarily shut down. This will allow our electricians to safely install the required breakers to support the project’s electrical demands.

    We apologize for any inconvenience caused during this necessary procedure. Our goal is to complete the breaker installation as efficiently as possible to minimize disruptions to your workday. I ask that you please ensure all essential equipment, computers, and sensitive devices are properly shut down or unplugged before you leave Tuesday evening to avoid potential damage or data loss.

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding this electrical panel shutdown, please do not hesitate to contact me at 905-902-9508 or via email at bday@brocku.ca.
