Notice of Construction Activity – P Lighting Project

Facilities Management will commence lighting maintenance work in Building P during the mid semester break (Oct 26-30).

During this time, lighting in various areas of Building P will be temporarily turned off and restored as work progresses. Occupants may experience intermittent lighting interruptions throughout the day while contractors complete the required maintenance.

As part of this activity, there may be minor disruptions in the affected areas. Facilities Management will work closely with the contractor to minimize inconvenience and ensure the work is completed safely and efficiently.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this important work. Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to enhance and maintain our campus facilities.

Air Balancing – C/J Bridge and J/D Link – Oct. 26, 2026

At approximately 8 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2026, we will be conducting an air pressure test on the C/J Bridge as well as the J/D Link. Each test will take about five minutes where we will not be able to open the doors on either side of these throughways.

Hoping that there is very minimal traffic at 8 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2026, however, we would like some sort of record in the event we need to refer to it during that time.

Domestic Water Shutdown – Oct. 31, 2026

Please be advised that on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., all domestic cold and hot water services will be shut down to the following buildings to facilitate critical valve replacements within the College’s main domestic water infrastructure:

• Building A
• Building B
• Building C
• DARE District
• New STEM Labs (Building A)

During this outage, all plumbing fixtures will be out of service, including sinks, toilets, showers, and other water-dependent equipment. We kindly ask that occupants refrain from using any plumbing fixtures during the shutdown period.

These repairs are necessary to improve the reliability of the domestic water distribution system and to reduce the risk of future service disruptions.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you in advance for your patience, cooperation, and understanding while this critical work is completed.

Notice of Construction Activity – Building T Vestibule Refurbishment Project

Facilities Management in coordination with the assigned contractor, will commence work on the Building T Vestibule Refurbishment Project on Monday, October 5, 2026. The work is expected to continue for approximately three months.

We will work closely with the contractor to minimize disruption as much as possible.
