The Data Center improvement project requires additional power work that impacts a subset of community clusters. To complete the work, we are scheduling a maintenance on October 3 from 12:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The following clusters will be unavailable during this downtime:

  • Bell
  • Gilbreth
  • Rossmann
  • Rowdy

We recognize the impact of this outage on your work. To note, this outage is a necessary step towards completion of the data center improvement project. Unfortunately, this date cannot be rescheduled, as the work must be completed to fully restore the power infrastructure. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this.

If you have any questions or need support to complete any time-sensitive project, please contact rcac-help@purdue.edu.
