To All in SCS:

F & S will be performing soil samples for the CAMPUS(NOT SCS) heat recovery chiller project in the south courtyard between RAL South & CLSL-A on Monday, Dec 17.  We have been reassured there will be minimal vibrations and they will maintain at least 25 feet of clearance between them and the buildings to stay on the safe side. This information will also be posted on the SCS Building Outages/Important Notices blog:  www.scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com.   If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

FUME HOOD OUTAGE - CLSL-A - JAN 9-11 - 6AM TO 2:30PM DAILY

TO ALL IN CLSL-A:

In an effort to keep the CLSL-A fume hood exhaust fan system functional, it is imperative F & S does extensive preventative maintenance (PM) on the fan belts, sheaves, and repacking the pillow block bearings for maximum performance.  F&S has scheduled this PM for Jan 9, 10, & 11 from 6:00am-2:30pm for each day. Therefore, the use of the fume hoods and the auxiliary exhaust ports (i.e. elephant truck system) will NOT be allowed during this time for worker safety.

Note:  The general laboratory supply/exhaust will remain functional during the fume hood outage. 

Please follow the guidelines below for your safety and the worker’s safety.  F&S workers will be inside the exhaust fans during the fume hood outage.

1.      All hazardous operations in the fume hood should be secured and chemicals capped.
2.      All hazardous chemicals properly contained and spills wiped up.
3.      All hood sashes lowered.
4.      All operations utilizing the elephant trunk system secured.
Fume hoods WILL be available for use each day AFTER 2:30pm, unless instructed otherwise due to unforeseen circumstances.  However, the same procedures above will need followed to be prepared for the next day’s outage.

During the outages, the fume hood alarms will be going off and there won’t be a way to silence them.  Building sections affected will be as follows:

1st Floor:  A101, A105, A106, A123, A125, A151
2nd Floor:  A201, A203, A205, A207, A214, A217, A223, A225, A227, A229, A231
3rd Floor:  A301, A304, A305, A307, A321, A323, A325, A327, A329, A331, A333
4th Floor:  A401, A403, A405, A407, A409, A427, A429, A431, A433, A435, A441, A443
5th Floor:  A501, A503, A505, A507, A509, A523, A525, A527, A529, A531, A533, A538

TOTAL ELECTRICAL OUTAGE - CLSL-A - SEPT. 25 - 5AM TO 8AM

To All in CLSL-A:

A full electrical outage has been scheduled for a duration of 3 hours for the Chem Life Sciences A building only. Further details of the outage are below:
TOTAL ELECTRICAL at CHEMICAL & LIFE SCIENCES LABORATORY (0070) from 2018/09/25 05:00 to 2018/09/25 08:00 -
Outage ID : 10959
Outage Reason : Potter Electric will Install a new breaker, F and S will energize a repaired transformer and perform maintenance on secondary transformers.
Building Sections affected : All Electric Power In CLSL A Building
Building Services affected : All Electric Power In CLSL A Building
Building Occupants Effect : No Lights No Power In CLSL A Building
Comments:

Prior to the Building Outage
:|

Here's what you can do to prepare to optimally handle this power outage:

-We recommend all electronic equipment be properly shut down, turned off, and unplugged prior to the start of the outage.
-Identify all “sensitive” equipment.  Review SOPs (when available) for safe shutdown.  Contact manufacturers where appropriate for shutdown procedures.  Make sure you know where all of your equipment is plugged in, and label equipment cords and plugs if you want to keep track of what gets plugged in where.
-Secure hazardous operations, and cap chemicals, in fume hoods and any other environments that depend on ventilation for safety.
-Identify all sensitive samples in refrigerators, freezers, or cold rooms that need to be relocated, and contact the SCS Facility Manager (333-1972 or 369-4908) to arrange for an alternative cold room location if required.
-Familiarize yourself with the reset procedures in the manual for all freezers/refrigerators, especially modern CPU-controlled freezers, so that you will be prepared if they do not reset to the desired default temperature when powered back on after the outage.
-80 deg C freezers, unopened, are expected to maintain their temperature for 4 hours, so their shutdown during the outage is not expected to cause any sample storage issues. Nevertheless, please email information about your freezer location/s to Danielle Cruzan ( dcruzan@illinois.edu) so that SCS and F&S can ensure that the freezer is fully operational when power is restored.
-Designate two group representatives to interface with SCS staff and top up dry ice during the outage; email their names, email addresses, and cell phone numbers to Danielle Cruzan ( dcruzan@illinois.edu).
-You may send a complete email list for your group to dcruzan@illinois.edu  - Danielle Cruzan so we can be sure everyone is notified of progress during the outage.
During this outage:

-There will be absolutely no power in the building.
-There will be no air supply or ventilation, which also applies to fume hoods.
-For safety reasons, occupants of the building will not be allowed to stay in the building.  The SCS Safety Officer (Shane B.)  will routinely check each research lab to ensure occupants are not staying in the building. 
-School of Chemical Sciences (SCS) and F&S will have staff on hand during the outage to monitor the electrical outage and building equipment.
-SCS staff will provide email updates to all occupants during the outage, and will email an “ALL CLEAR” when occupants can return to the building.
 If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.  This information will also be available on the SCS Building Outages/Important Notices blog:  www.scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com.

REMINDER: UPDATED- CHILLED WATER & FIRE ALARM OUTAGE - CLSL-A - AUG 17 - 6AM TO 12PM

TO ALL IN CLSL-A:

There will be a SMOKE OUTAGE for the following spaces:  A227, A233, A243 and a CHILLED WATER OUTAGE for the following spaces:

Prashant’s entire A233 lab will have no chilled water for the duration.

JVW lab A227A and A227 including the chiller in the closet across from the north elevator will have no chilled water.

A205 has a small closet in the back with a small chilled water fan coil unit in it fed from the same chilled water line as JVW A227 and A227A labs and will be off.

These are the only areas affected. The JVW labs will hopefully be back on sooner and Josh will be notified as soon as he is back on. This is due to valves needing installed in the basement for Prashant’s line that will now also serve A151. So A233 will be down for the duration (hopefully on sooner) of the outage request.

This outage will take place on FRIDAY, AUGUST 17 from 6:00AM to 12:00PM.  You may notice a slight smoke odor while brazing is being done in these spaces.  These outages are being done to tie in chilled water to the spaces.  Further details of the outage are below:

Fire Pump Testing: CLSL-A -- MON, JULY 23

TO ALL IN CLSL-A:

The SCS Facilities & Safety team received word there will be fire pump testing done at CLSL-A on Monday, July 23.  You shouldn’t notice any impact since the alarms will not need to be activated.  Further information of the testing is below:

Testing of the fire pump in your building has been scheduled.  The fire pump testing will not require the building fire alarm system to be activated and therefore we do not anticipate disruptions of the normal building activities. However, a hose may cross a sidewalk, parking lot, etc.  Facilities and Services trades will be performing testing in the building during this time.


If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.  This information will also be posted on the SCS Building Outages/Important Notices blog:  www.scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com.

Warm Temp Issues - RAL

TO ALL IN RAL:

The SCS Facilities & Safety team is aware of the warm temperature issues in RAL(mostly North RAL) as we received several reports this morning.  It has been determined that both chillers that serve RAL are down and there is an issue with the air handling unit in the basement as well.  Refrigeration and temperature control trades are both in the building to figure out what is going on and will be keeping me updated.  I will send out updates as I receive them and will be posting them to the SCS Building Outages/Important Notices blog as well:  www.scsbuildingoutages.blogspot.com.   We apologize for the warmer temps and hope it gets resolved quickly!  If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Thanks,
