The 2007 annual Campus Steam Shutdown is scheduled for Friday May 18, 2007. This shutdown is necessary to facilitate needed repairs and maintenance on the steam system that cannot be performed during normal operations. Shutdown activities will begin at 12 AM Friday morning and service will be restored around 1 AM Saturday morning.
Construction and repair activities will be performed in mechanical spaces and will therefore be transparent to most staff and visitors. The major impact to the campus will be NO HOT WATER - normal building temperatures will be maintained.
Please contact the Facilities Services Center immediately at X42222 if there are any unexpected issues or concerns. Your support and assistance in helping us maintain our equipment in working order is greatly appreciated by Columbia University Facilities.
