| Planned Campus Outages Dec. 22 and Dec. 31 |
|
| Buildings on the Washington and Lee campus electrical grid will experience planned outages affecting all power, heating and cooling from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Dec. 22 and Dec. 31. Additionally, badge swipe access to these campus buildings will be locked during these times. |
| The outages do not affect buildings outside of the W&L grid, which includes all fraternity houses and university office spaces located in downtown Lexington such as Mattingly House, Hillel House, Global Service House, the Office of University Development, the Business Office, etc. The sorority houses will maintain electricity, but their heating and cooling systems will be affected. |
| These outages are necessary to replace outdated electrical switchgear that will serve the campus grid for years to come. Faculty and staff are encouraged to avoid utilizing campus buildings during these outages. Questions about the outage work should be directed to University Facilities at facilities@wlu.edu. |
