Chem Annex - Electrical Issues Resolved

Dear Chem Annex Occupants,

On the morning of October 11, a few labs and offices experienced unusual power fluctuations.  The electrical contractors, as well as the F&S electricians, were contacted immediately to begin investigating the causes of these fluctuations.  The electrician soon discovered a loosely connected wire in the main electrical panel located in the basement of Chem Annex. To ensure the safety of the occupants, it was determined to evacuate the building since it would be without electricity for a few hours to correct the problem.

The final diagnosis was identified as a loose neutral wire that was not properly connected and missed during the original commissioning and inspection of the building.  Per the string of emails from the F & S engineers (included below), both the electrical contractors and F&S inspection team investigated every electrical panel in the building to ensure all electrical connections are proper and tight now.  Thus, they have verified the building is safe for occupancy and there should be no further issues.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  This information will also be on the SCS Building Outages/Important Notices blog:  https://scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com/

COPY OF EMAIL STRING

After the neutral conductors were reconnected in panel DP-9A, Glesco Electric ,examined branch circuit wiring in the surrounding labs, and found no other damage.  We (myself and Frank Revell of Glesco Electric) also examined other distribution panels as well as the transformer feeding them and found no problems. 

Therefore, we have no reason to believe the Chemistry Annex building is unsafe or unfit to occupy.

Ken and Chad,

Per below, the observed electrical issue at Chemistry Annex was identified and corrective work has been completed. Per below, the electrical contractor, Frank Revell of Glesco, and F&S Electrical Superintendent, Dave Lancaster, also examined other electrical distribution panels as well as the transformer feeding them and found no problems. F&S believes that Chemistry Annex building is safe to be used and occupied as intended.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss.

Thank you,

Phishing Scam

To all SCS Faculty and Staff,

A personally targeted phishing scam was recently sent to SCS faculty. The reply address was invoicing@scs.uiuc.edu. There was an attachment that they hoped the end user would click on. Fortunately, our faculty member thought it was suspicious and asked before clicking on the attachment. See the email below.

A few things to remember*:
  • Public advisories for the University of Illinois are posted on and can be validated from the Technology Services Security page: https://security.illinois.edu
  • Sometimes popular phishing attacks and hoaxes can be verified on Snopes.
  • Legitimate email will never ask you to disclose your password or other sensitive information
  • If in doubt do not click any enclosed link, but instead call or independently go to the official website of the purported sender's company so that you can check the authenticity of the email or submit a compliant.
  • Always report suspected phishing by forwarding the email with headers in question to report-spam@illinois.edu

Monthly Maintenance Check-Up

To All:

Please remember the following when dealing with a maintenance/facility issue:

·         For all NON-EMERGENCY SCS Maintenance issues, please submit a work order via Reaction using this link:  https://reaction.scs.uiuc.edu/physicalPlant/   PLEASE be as detailed as possible in your description of the issue.  This helps determine which trade/shop to send out for the repair.

If you have any questions on how to utilize this, please contact Danielle via email (chalfont@illinois.edu) or by phone (217-300-6582). 

Examples of NON- EMERGENCY maintenance issues include, but are NOT limited to, the following:
     -Hood issues
     -Leaky faucets and sinks(slow drips not causing safety/flooding issues)
     -Lights not working properly(flickering or completely out)
     -A/C or heat issues
     -Freezer/Refrigerator Issues
     -Floor Cleaning(beyond regular mopping/sweeping by BSW’s)

·         If you have an EMERGENCY maintenance issue, please contact the F & S Service Office FIRST at 217-333-0340. If it is after business hours or on the weekends, Public Safety mans the line and will contact the proper shop to check the emergency maintenance issue.   After contacting the F & S Service Office, ALWAYS contact Danielle and Ron via phone and email (provided at the bottom of this email) so we can follow up on the maintenance issue and make sure it is taken care of in a timely manner.

Examples of EMERGENCY maintenance issues include, but are NOT limited to, the following:
     -Water Leaks (water gushing causing safety/flooding issues)
     -Restroom Issues(overflowing toilets, continuous flushing, etc.)
     -Elevator Issues
     -Heating/Cooling Issues that are affecting research experiments ONLY
     -Refrigeration Issues that are affecting research experiments(Freezers, Cold Rooms, etc.)

·         PLEASE put any food and drink(empty or not empty) items in the hallway or outside trash receptacles!!   DO NOT dispose of those items inside offices, classrooms, or lab spaces!!  This will help cut down on any unwanted bugs and/or smells in our facilities.

·         ALWAYS remember to lock and secure ALL doors in your area when leaving for any reason and you are the only person in there!  This is for your own protection as well as the protection of equipment and research going on in your lab area.  Also, when leaving a room, please remember to shut off all lights as well.

·         PLEASE assist us in keeping the restrooms and hallways in ALL buildings as clean as possible. If you see any cleanliness issues or other maintenance issues that need addressed, please let us know so we can get it handled as quickly as possible.

·         If you notice anything suspicious in any of our facilities, please do not hesitate to report it.  Do NOT allow someone to “piggy back” in a door with you when the facilities are locked and always be aware of your surroundings.  IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!  You can contact UI Public Safety at 217-333-1216 for non-emergencies or 911 for emergencies.



**NEW**:  There is now an SCS blog up and running on the main SCS website under Building Maintenance(located on the right hand side) titled SCS Building Outages/Important Notices.  This will be the centralized spot where all outages and important notices that are sent out via email will be located as well.  The link to the blog is:  https://scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com/  or you can click on the link on the SCS website.   If you have any questions, feel free to email Danielle Cruzan.



If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.  We are here to ensure all of the SCS facilities run smoothly but cannot do it without your assistance!

Thanks,
