Schedule a Utility / Building System Shutdown
A Utility / Building System Shutdown Request must be submitted when interruption of electrical, potable water, chilled water, steam, other utility service, or a building system is needed
Once you have placed a building system shutdown request, FCS and unit facilities staff must perform these tasks before the shutdown can take place:
- Notification of the Building Coordinator(s) whose approval is required for the shutdown to take place.
- Building Coordinators will notify and receive feedback from building users and who will be affected by the shutdown.
- Building users will make necessary adjustments to classroom, lab, and other facility usage schedules.
- Building Coordinators will confirm their approval or denial of the shut down request with FCS Customer Service. If a shutdown’s impact on teaching, research, or other critical activities at the requested time is deemed too severe, a Building Coordinator may deny a shutdown request and ask that it be scheduled for a less disruptive time.
- Maintenance Zones will schedule needed support staff and equipment.
- Support staff and other FCS and unit personnel will vet the shutdown request for possible downstream building system and facility impacts.
- EHS shutdowns must be scheduled at least 2 working days in advance.
- EHS shutdowns cannot be scheduled through a Utility Shutdown.
- EHS shutdowns cannot be entered online, they must be called into Customer Service. 607-255-5322
- CS can only schedule EHS shutdowns as far ahead as 2 weeks in advance. To schedule the times you need for long projects contact CS frequently to keep adding dates 2 weeks in advance.
If you have any questions contact CS, EHS, or your Cornell Project Manager.
