Each year Facilities Services performs necessary maintenance on the university’s steam system, which requires shutting off the steam throughout campus, to complete maintenance services at the plant, throughout the steam tunnels and in each building.  This process affects hot water supply, heating, and all equipment that uses steam, campus wide.  The steam shutdown for 2023 will occur June 19th – June 23rd, 2023.

For questions or comments on this closure contact Facilities Services at 541-737-2969.

Pacific Power will be decommissioning obsolete equipment located in Dearborn hall on Saturday, January 7th from 6 am-9 am. Power will be shut down to the following buildings while this work is being performed, Gilkey Hall, Gleeson Hall, Gilbert Addition, Dearborn Hall, Rogers Hall, Community Hall, and Milne Computer Center. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

The fume hoods in Linus Pauling Science Center will be shut down for repairs to replace several failed motors in the exhaust fan system.  Maintenance work on the lab exhaust fan system will be from December 14, 7:00 am – December 15, 2022 5:00 pm.  All fume hoods will have low flow so they will be inoperable during this time.
