UAF Facilities Services will be conducting a planned maintenance power shutdown in the Butrovich Building to integrate a new Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for the Butrovich Data Center (BDC). The UPS will ensure seamless and continuous power supply to the BDC in the event of a utility outage. The BDC electrical system must be temporarily powered down to ensure safety for the technicians doing the work.
