We will conduct a temporary electrical shutdown that will affect normal power on the 7th floor of the Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion from 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, to 1 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

All equipment plugged into emergency (red) outlets will be unaffected. Fume hood service will be unaffected and remain operational throughout the shutdown.

In preparation for the upcoming shutdown, please take the following precautionary steps:

  • Save all files and important documents.

  • Completely turn off all computers and laptops.

  • Turn off all other electronic devices and non-essential laboratory equipment.

  • Ensure that all essential equipment is connected to emergency power (red) outlets.

  • If you are unsure whether your equipment is plugged into an emergency power outlet, please contact CUIMC Facilities Management at cumc.facilities@columbia.edu, and a representative from Facilities Engineering will visit and assess your area.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jesenia Tejeda, project manager, at jt3433@cumc.columbia.edu.
