Electrical Upgrade to Close Campus Buildings
02/09/2016
Many buildings across SUNY Cortland’s campus will be closed for short periods during the spring while the College continues the second phase of an electrical infrastructure upgrade.
In total, 11 buildings on the upper portion of campus will be affected by the power shutdowns spanning from mid March to mid June. The work is part of a major $26 million project that will completely upgrade the College’s electrical distribution lines.
Power shutdowns have been scheduled for weekends and semester breaks whenever possible to minimize their impact on employees. Many buildings are linked electrically, which means that temporary four-hour shutdowns will occur before multi-day closures in some instances.
The first closures will occur Monday, March 14, during the College’s spring break. A complete calendar is available online and includes the following buildings:
- Memorial Library: closed Monday, March 14, at 7 a.m. through Wednesday, March 16
- Dowd Fine Arts Center: closed Monday, March 14, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.; closed Thursday, March 17, all day beginning at 7 a.m.

The College’s Human Resources Office will contact employees who work in these buildings with alternate work locations and leave options for shutdowns that occur during regular business hours.
Additional shutdowns will occur during the third phase of the electrical infrastructure upgrade, but those have not yet been scheduled. For more information, contact the Facilities Planning, Design and Construction Office at 607-753-2214.
