The UO 2026 campuswide electrical testing will be conducted over two days: Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., and Thursday, August 13, 2026, 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.

What to expect: Facilities throughout campus may experience up to a 10-second power outage each time the system is tested throughout the two days.

This important test of campus infrastructure ensures that backup power systems are operational in the event that campus loses primary power. Preparation has been done to minimize impacts to classroom technology, servers, and sensitive lab equipment.

Technology impacts: Expect intermittent network outages. If you experience other outages, check the IT Service Status website. If that doesn’t address your questions, please submit a ticket through the UO Service Portal or contact the IT staff who support your unit.

All other reports or concerns should be directed to the Work Control Center in Campus Planning and Facilities Management at workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu or 541-346-2319.

More information can be found on Campus Planning and Facilities Management’s Electrical Testing webpage.
