Alumni Village Power Outage - 9/28/26
Facilities was made aware of intermittent power loss starting in the early morning which progressed to full power loss later in the day. It was determined that there was an issue with a nearby medium-voltage switch (which connects the main feeder to Alumni Village). Given the repairs necessary, this required the NYS Office of General Services (NYS-OGS) to become involved for emergency repairs. Based upon discussions with NYS-OGS, generators are set to be installed on Tuesday, 9/29/26 (specific time not yet determined). Once installed, these will provide power until a permanent repair can be made.
Once power is restored, it is recommended that residents follow the FDA’s power outage food safety guide.
Residents are also covered by personal property coverage as detailed on the Residence License Agreement webpage.
