Work and Safety Considerations
This necessary electrical work will cause disruptions. Although the University will be closed in observance of Veterans Day, some employees may be required to work. Staff should consult with their supervisors to determine remote work options or alternative work locations during the power shutdown. Faculty should consult with their department chairpersons if they plan to come to campus during the impacted day. If your role requires you to be on campus, please coordinate with your manager to discuss necessary arrangements.
Dining on Campus
Please note that due to scheduled electrical work affecting wireless networks at One Pace Plaza, Starbucks operations will also be impacted. On days when the wireless network is unavailable, Grubhub orders and payments will not be processed. Transactions will be in-person only via the Starbucks register and Market Kiosk.
We understand that this scheduled power shutdown may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete these necessary upgrades. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to enhance Pace’s campus.
