Power Outage Planned in Physical Science Complex
Facilities Services will be working in Physical Science Complex Rooms 232 and 234 on Presidents' Day to relocate an electrical panel and drill electrical floor boxes. Relocating the panel will require a power outage affecting a few of the adjacent rooms and the panel schedule lists rooms 214, 227D, 232, 234, and 238 as being affected. However, other rooms may be impacted by the outage. Facilities Services ask faculty and staff to power down computers or any other sensitive equipment before leaving Friday.
If you have questions about the outage, contact Jason Adams, senior project manager, at (208) 282-5859 or jasonadams@isu.edu.
