End:      Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 2:00 pm

Building(s) or Area(s) Affected:  Baker Downtown Center

Scope:  On Sunday, EWEB will be shutting off power between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm to upgrade the transformer that serves Baker Downtown Center before it fails.  EWEB has worked to accommodate the University’s need for a daytime weekend outage plus has coordinated this with the surrounding buildings also affected by the transformer.

Services Impacted:  Power will be offline for approximately 6 hours.

Special Instructions:  Please shut down and unplug all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers during scheduled power outages. The software on these machines can be negatively affected due to the power surge when the power is turned back on.  A power surge can corrupt the clone files in the machines and change preconfigured settings.  For questions, please contact Kati Kronholm at 541-346-5370 or katik@uoregon.edu.  For non-copier questions, please reach out to the contact person listed below.

Special Instructions:  If you have concerns about accessing your workplace when elevator services are impacted, please contact your supervisor to find an appropriate accommodation.
