Emergency power test scheduled for Feb. 26

Health Sciences Centers Facilities Management needs to do a load test on the backup generators in preparation for a major electrical system upgrade in the summer (you probably recall the power shutdown last Sept.).

The test is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, February 26 at 10:30 a.m. During the test, Facilities is going to switch on the emergency power, and there might be some electrical 'flicker' when it happens. We want to do this load test when everyone is here and working, but our concern is doing this test in the middle of say, a computerized exam. Only Emergency outlets (the red ones) will be affected. Regular outlets shouldn't be impacted.
