Power Outage Planned for December 21

This message is sent on behalf of Facilities & Campus Services:

A power outage is planned at Wake Forest for the Reynolda Campus and University Corporate Center (UCC) on Saturday, Dec. 21.

Power to the campus and UCC will be shut down at about 8 a.m. so that necessary repairs may be made to the Cherry Street substation near campus and other facilities.

By about 1 p.m., power will be returned to most of the campus. The plan is to restore power to all of campus and to UCC by 7 p.m.

Facilities & Campus Services makes the following recommendations for that day:

— Please have all servers powered down (if not on backup power sources) by 7 a.m.

— Please shut down any servers that are not necessary by 7 a.m.

— Shut down desktop and laptop computers unless instructed otherwise by Information Systems or administrative staff. If your computer, speakers, phone charger, etc., are all on one power strip, turn off the power strip after shutting down your computer.

— If possible, unplug nonessential equipment such as copiers, fax machines, printers, scanners, and chargers.

— If possible, unplug all appliances, including coffee makers, microwaves, televisions, and radios (do not unplug refrigerators).

— Turn off office lights and as much public lighting as possible in hallways, bathrooms, break rooms, and conference rooms.

— If you experience any issues or problems during the outage, please contact Ed Bullington at 240-0033 or the Utilities Operation Center at 758-4747.

— If you need notification when the power is restored, please contact Ed Bullington at 240-0033 or bullinew@wfu.edu.
