Facilities Management advise that there will be a planned power outage between 6am and 2 pm on Saturday 24 August in the following buildings:

  • MU01 Music Main Building
  • MU02 Music Outbuilding

This is a complete power outage to enable the installation of Power Metering. All power to mechanical plant and other systems will be shut down during these works.

What do you need to do?

FM recommend that people in the affected buildings:

  • Turn off IT equipment at the CoB Friday 23 August, or prior to the outage (6am), in preparation for this power shutdown.
  • Ensure any equipment UPS is operating correctly.
  • Make arrangement to, or plan to shut down and reset any specialist equipment.
  • If equipment is alarmed this will need to be reset.

We have planned this outage for a Saturday to minimise disruption, and we thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required electrical works.

“Enrolling in PACE may assist with gaining some perspective on whether you are in the right field or not. It is a paper where you are taught necessary tools that you may encounter when you venture into your career. In my case, it helped with realising where I would like to be in the future! Being in the workspace and environment clarifies whether you are heading in the right direction.  

 Personally, PACE fuelled me with more momentum to continue with my degree and aspirations. This paper and internship gave me invaluable experiences which will enrich my academic trajectory and subsequently, my career goals!” – Kavita (PACE395 summer school student)
