Utility failures on campus can include: natural gas, electricity, boilerhouse (heat) and water.
Gas Leak:
-
Cease all activity. DO NOT SWITCH ON LIGHTS OR ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Electrical arcing can trigger an explosion! Go to a safe location away from the leak and notify Campus Safety at x3000.
-
If there was a loss of gas service on campus, the following services would be lost:
¨ Emergency generators (all with the exception of the Boilerhouse and Colonial Hall)
¨ Domestic hot water in the summer
¨ Heat in lower campus buildings
¨ Dining hall cooking capabilities
Electricity: Loss of electricity would affect the campus in the following ways:
-
It would place the College in an emergency lighting mode. All buildings on campus with the exception of Cunningham House, Maintenance Building, McMillen Press Box, Soccer Field Press Box and Phillips Field House have emergency lighting.
-
Heat would only be able to be maintained in HAL, MEP, PLC, and the Student Union.
-
Card access would be operational as long as the emergency generators were running. If electricity and the generators were compromised, the card access system would default to the “unlock” mode.
-
In the event of electrical loss all elevators, swimming pools, locker rooms, bowling alley, Rockwell Hall of Science building and the tunnel should be checked.
Boilerhouse:
-
In the event that the heating source was lost across campus, heat would only be able to be provided to the PFAC, Memorial Hall, and Hicks Hall.
Water:
