2015 Campus Winter Electrical Repairs Shannon Jones Mgr, Const Project, Principal
Overview of 2014 Winter Break Project: Facilities Planning & Construction • A report from our insurance carrier prompted repairs to the campus electrical system. • This was an Electrical Repair and Preventative Maintenance project conducted 26 – 30 Dec 14. • Cougar 1 was “taken out of service” by transferring its electrical load to Cougar 2 & 3. • This allowed us to complete corrective repairs and Preventative Maintenance actions required on Cougar 1. • Project was completed with minimal impact to campus operations.
• This effort will concentrate on repairs for Cougar 3 (Cougar 2). • This is an electrical corrective repair and preventative maintenance joint project between Facilities Planning & Construction and Facilities Management to ensure future reliable electrical service to the Campus. • These repairs will impact the majority of the Main Campus with multiple momentary electrical disruptions aka “Blips”.

Space Inventory and Audit Dawn Taylor-Dartez Space Inventory Manager
FAQ The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Facilities Audit will occur May 20 through May 21, 2015. The Texas Education Code requires the Board to periodically conduct a comprehensive audit of all educational and general facilities on the campuses of public universities. The goal of the audits is to assess, verify, and improve the data and process by which Texas universities accurately report the use of campus facilities and project funding. The audit will consist of a random sample of 35 rooms from the entire institutions inventory including a minimum of five rooms from the roster of classrooms and class laboratories. They will be verifying signage, room numbers, departments, usage, square footages, and capacities. We will be provided with this list 30 days prior to the scheduled audit and will notify the areas that are selected.
FAQ In preparation for the audit, the Office of Facilities Information will be conducting walk-throughs in buildings to verify renovations, signage, room types and floor plans.
