Posted: Friday, June 2, 2023Steam Service Shutdown to Most Campus Buildings: June 5-15
As part of the ongoing heating plant upgrade project, steam service to most campus buildings will be shut down from 12:01 a.m. Monday, June 5, until roughly noon on Thursday, June 15. Steam service to the LoRusso Alumni and Visitor Center, the Student Apartment Complex, and the Burchfield Penney Art Center will be unaffected.
During this time, affected buildings will have no heat, no steam for cooking or dish washing, and no hot water, including for showering in the Sports Arena, Houston Gymnasium, and residence halls. Staff members affected by the interruption have been notified, and necessary mitigation plans have been put into place.
In buildings with cooling, members of the campus community may experience lower than usual building temperatures, because systems will not be able to reheat the cooling air, and occupants are asked to dress accordingly. Employees who would like to seek an alternative work location should consult with their supervisors first, and supervisors should contact Human Resource Management. Employees are asked to report any sightings of dripping condensate from ceilings to Facilities at (716) 878-6111.
Questions about this project may be addressed to vpfm@buffalostate.edu. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we make these necessary repairs to the steam service.
