On Friday, Dec. 30, there will be an eight-hour planned power outage that will affect the following buildings:  Sangamon Hall, Menard Hall, Cass Gymnasium, the Millennium Center, the Trutter Center, and the Facilities Services Maintenance buildings.  This effort is being coordinated between, and with the cooperation of, the Construction Management Office, the Facilities Services Department, CWLP, Johnson Engineering, B&B Electric, Prairie State (Harney Electric), and the Information Technology Department.

During this period, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be no electrical, data or phone services available to the buildings or areas noted above.  This will also affect the computer and phone systems in all of our district facilities.

The planned power outage is required in order to complete the work necessary to better monitor our energy usage in the future and to upgrade our battery backup systems that protect our data infrastructure during unexpected power surges and outages.

We thank you, in advance, for your understanding and patience during this eight-hour period.
