Athens Campus – Planned Power Outage
Facilities Management and Safety (FMS) has scheduled a campus-wide electric outage for the following time:
ATHENS CAMPUS - 2024 Steam Outage
2024 Outage Dates: May 12, 2024- May 24, 2024
During the above dates, the entire campus will be without steam. In some buildings there may be temperature variations depending upon their system capabilities. Additionally, any special equipment relying on steam to function will be inoperable (for example, some autoclaves are reliant upon steam).
Athens Campus - Planned Power Outages for November and December 2019
Ohio University’s Facilities Management and Safety has scheduled a series of widespread electrical outages on the Athens Campus to allow for improvements to the campus electrical distribution system.
The intent of these efforts is to provide an opportunity to perform preventative maintenance, upgrade equipment in the main electric substation and allow for the new HCOM Academic Facility and Chilled Water Plant 3 to be added to the University’s electric distribution system. The dates for the outages are provided below and have been carefully scheduled during non-business hours adjacent to major academic breaks to minimize impact to the Ohio University community.
