BNC Shutdown Notice

Physical Facilities department will be interrupting the campus chilled water to our building starting Tuesday December 4 to Friday December 7.  This will require a shutdown of our building systems to reduce chilled water demand on the campus chilled water system.  During the same time we will complete the install of a new Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that supports critical research equipment.  Users with critical equipment on the UPS system will be notified with a special notification.

Attached are details about the shutdown.
