WHAT? There will be a temporary air conditioning shut down in Alamito, Crockett, Neches, and El Paso Halls.
WHEN? The shutdown will be necessary from 9:45 p.m. on Thursday, July 31, to 8:45 a.m. on Friday, August 1.
WHY? The leaking riser valve in Tower #6 in the Crockett Hall west stairwell needs to be replaced because the leak is causing water to pool at the new science building construction site, impeding progress in the basement area construction and pipe tie-ins.
HOW? The chiller serving those buildings will have to be shutdown, lines drained, water lines disconnected, two valves replaced, water lines refilled, and chiller restarted upon completion of the repairs.
WHAT ELSE? This process will potentially cause Crockett and Alamito halls to experience higher than normal temperatures during the morning of August 1, so please dress appropriately for comfort during the morning recovery period.
