Summary of disruptions: State-mandated testing of the fire safety systems in elevators at four buildings is scheduled on Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday, June 25 and Thursday, June 26. Testing is scheduled each day from approximately 8 a.m. to noon. The affected buildings and days are:

Reason for disruption: Comply with state laws to ensure that elevator controls initiate proper procedures when fire alarm is activated.

How does this affect me? Fire alarms and strobe lights may be activated during testing. HVAC systems may undergo temporarily shutdowns. Elevators will be intermittently out of service. Please use stairways if an elevator is shut down.     

What do I need to do? If fire alarms are heard after the scheduled testing period, evacuate the building. Please share this information with others in the buildings who may have not received this message.

For any questions or more information, please contact: Martin Cartagena, Electrical Shop supervisor, at Ext. 3044.
