In order to accommodate necessary upgrades to the campus steam system there will be a 15-hour shutdown of the Keele campus steam and hot water systems on Saturday, June 15, from 8am to 11pm. The shutdown will affect the hot water and heating steam supply to buildings and is required to complete large steam valve installations required for new chiller installation and steam system upgrades.
The 15-hour shutdown is required to complete large steam valve installations required for the new chiller installation and steam system upgrades. Every effort will be made to keep the service interruption as short as possible.
