No other building systems will be impacted, and buildings will remain open as scheduled. Temperature fluctuations are weather-dependent.
When:?To minimize impacts to state workers and visitors, crews will shut down the Powerhouse after 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27. DES plans to restore the campus steam heat system by Sunday, Oct. 29, allowing building temperatures to return to normal by Monday morning.
