Etherington Hall and Richardson Laboratory will both be temporarily closed between 6:30 am and 7:30 am on Wednesday, April 11 and Monday, April 16 to permit contractors to safely perform medium voltage switching in aid of substation maintenance and testing. Each building will be without power for approximately 20 minutes during the 1 hour period between identified above.

During each power outage, the fire alarm systems in both buildings will be powered by battery backup. Exit and emergency lighting will operate on limited battery backup.

Occupants in both buildings should power down computers and sensitive equipment prior to leaving for the day on Tuesday, April 10 and Friday, April 13 (or Sunday, April 15 if working on the weekend).
