We will be conducting a temporary electrical shutdown in the Allan Rosenfield Building on floors 18-19 from 8 p.m. to approximately 11:59 p.m. on Monday, August 26. During this time the small bullet passenger car, two low rise passenger cars, and the freight elevator will also be out of service.

If your work spaces are located in ARB, please take the following precautionary steps before you leave on Friday, August 23:

• Save all files and important documents.

• Completely turn off all computers and laptops.

• Turn off all other electronic devices and non-essential laboratory equipment.

• Ensure that all essential equipment is connected to emergency power (red) outlets. 

• If you are unsure if your equipment is plugged into an emergency power outlet, please contact CUIMC Facilities Management at cumc.facilities@columbia.edu, and a representative from Facilities Engineering will visit and assess your area.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation as we work to improve our facilities. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Frank Menard, senior project manager at fm2639@cumc.columbia.edu.
