Shutdown of steam facilities
Please be advised there will be an Emergency Steam Shutdown on
Saturday December 18th from 2:00 until 2:30 p.m. which will affect
all Ventilation Systems in all Buildings except for the Bellini
Building. The following is a list of items which will be
affected by this shutdown:
Heating, Fume hoods, Cage Washers, Auto Claves, and Hot Water in
buildings where it is heated by Steam. (Please note it is not
possible for Facilities to list the buildings whose hot water will
be affected).
Please note it will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours to
re-start each individual ventilation system depending on if they
are automated or have to be reset manually.
Facilities will prioritize all Animal Ventilation systems and
Laboratory Ventilation systems.
This shutdown is necessary for Facilities to make emergency repairs
to a Steam valve on the main line from the Powerhouse.
We regret any inconveniences this situation may cause. For more
information, please contact:
