Power Outages

The University has emergency generators that activate automatically during a power outage to provide limited emergency lighting. The Department of Public Safety is supported by a generator that offers a full power supply throughout its portion of the building to sustain emergency operations equipment. The Tyler Campus Center is equipped with an emergency generator to continue food service operations. Critical communication and data equipment are also supported by electrical generators to minimize disruption during an outage. Levels of lighting are adequate to assist in proper evacuation of the facilities and are limited in duration.
