Construction on the Douglas Kenny Building Electrical Renovation is anticipated to begin in May 2025 and to be completed in August 2025.
The electrical distribution system for the Douglas Kenny Building is reaching the end of its lifespan and lacks the capacity to meet occupants’ future electrical needs. This renovation will remove aging electrical equipment and upgrade the system to a reliable, uniform standard that meets current safety and compliance regulations. Additionally, it will expand electrical capacity for future building expansion and use changes.
Here’s what to expect
- Some noise from construction activities is to be expected for users of the Douglas Kenny Building, concentrated in electrical room 1205A.
- A laydown area will be set up near the construction site, location TBD.
- Temporary road closures may occur during equipment delivery, location TBD.
