St. Croix campus on generator power - update

Good Day UVI,

This is a special announcement for Friday, Oct. 10, 2008. It is for the entire University Community.

The St. Croix campus is currently operational, on generator power. All telephone and network services are available.

Generator power, in the continued absence of WAPA service, may be inconsistent.


Gary E. Metz

Power on STX

WAPA has returned power to the St. Croix campus and all network services are functioning properly. However, the main generator that services the Evans Center and the NWW wing has been damaged and network services may be affected throughout the day. I will keep the helpdesk posted with any further information.

Regards,
Mark

St. Croix campus without power

Good Day UVI,

This is a special announcement for Friday, Oct. 10, 2008. It is for the entire University Community.

Due to a WAPA power outage, the St. Croix campus is currently without electricity. Also, the campus generators have not come up to provide backup support. This means that, along with other IT services, four-digit dialing to the St. Croix campus will not work. To access St. Croix offices by phone, individuals should use complete phone numbers.
