Planned power failure in Neo on 12 and 13 November

On 12 and 13 November a maintenance test of the power will require sequential, brief (5-15 minute) shutdowns of all power in each section of the Neo building. Research groups are recommended to check their equipment afterwards.

Schedule for the power shutdown

Tuesday, 12 November

  • 07:30 - 10:00: Floor 5 (working around booked seminar rooms etc), floor 2 and floor 3
  • 10:00 - 11:00: Floor 8

Wednesday, 13 November

  • 08:00 - 09:30: Floor 6
  • 09:30 - 11:00: Floor 7

The power shutdown will be performed on both normal and backup power

A cursory check of some equipment, such as low temperature freezers, will be done by the Neo service group in conjunction with the shutdown. All research groups are recommended to check all their critical equipment such as incubators and freezers after the power shutdown.
