Be mindful of planned power outage Wednesday as PGE replaces utility poles
This Wednesday, Sept. 10, several campus buildings will experience a planned power outage as PGE replaces old utility poles. Students in affected areas have been notified via email. The outage is scheduled to begin between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. PGE anticipates all work will be completed by 3 p.m.
Affected Buildings
- Art and Cinematic Arts Building
- Beals House
- Klages/Bookstore/Market
- CPS Office
- Intercultural Resource Center
- Woodward House (Health and Counseling)
Parking Information
To accommodate large PGE vehicles and ensure safety, we’re asking students, faculty and staff who park on Sheridan Street (east of River Street), Hancock Street (east of River Street) and Carlton Way (south of Sheridan Street) to move their vehicles to the Bauman parking lot on the day of the work. Once the work is completed and barriers are removed, the streets will reopen.
Sensitive Equipment
We recommend that you unplug electronics such as laptops, TVs or other sensitive devices in case of a power surge. Refrain from opening refrigerators during an outage to keep food cold.
Since many will be participating in the annual Serve Day, the power outage should not impact you. We appreciate your cooperation as PGE completes this essential maintenance.
