Power Outage, Water Reports, & This Sat

1. Weather permitting with the present storms, ONCOR may have to shut down electrical power to Swiss Tower for 1-3hrs this Friday morning (July 2) after 9am. This will be for part of the process of relocating the power lines on Floyd St. We may experience this same procedure when/if the lines are placed back in their existing location.

2. Please continue to report any water intrusion to me so that we can keep good records of where water is coming in and so we can take the appropriate immediate action when necessary.

3. Contractors will be working on the outside of Swiss Tower this Saturday, 7/3.

Floors 1-3 on St. Joseph

The brick demo is complete on the St. Joseph elevation!

Starting next week they will begin working on floors 1-3 (on St. Joseph) replacing the caulk joints around the window while grinding and fixing the brick joints in preparation to seal the bottom 3 floors.

Suspicious Persons

If you see any suspicious persons lurking around the reconstruction materials at Swiss Tower after 7pm and before 7am, please contact Campus Police immediately (214.841.3590). Campus Police works 24/7 so there is no need to wait.

Window Installation Processes Separated

For those living on floors 4-10, please be aware that contractors and/or DTS personnel will eventually need to get into your apartment several times for window, trim, paint, and window stop installations (outside contractors will be accompanied by DTS personnel). These processes have by necessity been separated out with reference to their scheduling (there was an attempt made to lump some of these processes together but that effort proved to be impossible).

I will be given 48 hours notice for each of these processes before they are done. I will pass this information to you as soon as possible by posting a memo on your door clip. If you are in town when you receive this information, please clear out the area around the windows that are to be replaced so that the workers can work and so that your items are protected. For the safety and well-being of your window treatments, you should also take those down as well. If you are aware that you will likely be out of town for any of these processes, please follow the procedures given above before you go.
