Fine Arts Electrical Outage-RE-SCHEDULED TIME

Facilities Management has an electrical contractor working in the southwestern corner of the building addressing some electrical corrections and adding additional service to the area. The work will involve an electrical outage of just this area of the building. We had hoped to complete this project before classes, but couldn’t because of equipment shipping delays.

The outage is schedule for Saturday, September 4th and will only involve the Communications offices, classrooms and the old studio area on the 1st floor within this area. This outage will not affect Music, Theater or the Art Department.

The Arlington Hall lot will be repaired and the new entrance for students directly from Pecan vs. Center Street will be completed. Minor re-striping is scheduled for Saturday August 14th. College Park Phase One will be fenced off by the time students arrive on campus. The re-designed lot has 313 spaces.

Before construction started the Arlington Hall Lot had 409 spaces. With the re-design due to construction the lot was reduced by 96 spaces. Lot 39 directly to the north of Arlington Hall has been assigned to housing during construction for overflow parking. This lot has 119 spaces.

Overall Housing gained 23 spaces during construction.

We will have signage in place directing students to the overflow lot which will be gated.
