Waterloo Campus Power Shutdown - Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28, 2024

July 9, 2024

Please note that on Saturday, July 27, 2024 and Sunday, July 28, 2024 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Facilities and Asset Management, along with our contractor Johnson Controls, will be conducting rotating intermittent power shutdowns to buildings on the Waterloo campus as part of the commissioning of the microgrid/power generation project.  

This work will affect all buildings located on the campus block (bound by Albert Street, Bricker Avenue, King Street and University Avenue) except for Martin Luther University College.

As a result, the following buildings will be placed in controlled access for the duration of the planned intermittent power shutdown:

• Library
• Schlegel Building
• Frank C. Peters Building
• Arts A/C/E
• Savvas Chamberlain Building
• Dr. Alvin Woods Building
• Fred Nichols Campus Centre
• Dining Hall
• Theatre Auditorium
• Bricker Academic Building
• Science Research Centre
• Science Building
• Athletics Complex
• Alumni Hall
• Conrad Hall Residence
• Macdonald House Residence
• Willison Hall Residence
• Little House Residence
• Euler Residence
• Leupold Residence
• Bouckaert Hall Residence
• Bricker Residence

As part of this testing, buildings will experience periods of unstable power during this timeframe. Please note that any building equipment connected to generator backup will continue to function during this work window.

As a safety precaution, the elevators in the affected buildings will not be operational during this time. Upon completion of the work, the regular Building Hours Schedule will resume at 5:00 p.m.
