Facilities Management

General information

Fresno State secured $31 million in funds from the California State University (CSU) Capital Improvement Program to upgrade the aging electrical infrastructure, which is more than 60 years old and well beyond its lifespan.

The upgrade will consist of approximately 44,000 feet of trenching and backfill to install new underground electrical lines.  The old equipment will be replaced with the latest technology, improve safety, modernize infrastructure and increase potential capacity for future growth.

Travel:  Traffic and pedestrian flow will be disrupted occasionally near the construction area.  Roadways will occasionally be reduced to one lane or temporarily rerouted, and pedestrian path of travel may be redirected depending on areas of construction.

Power Outages:  Every effort will be made to minimize disruption to the campus community.  When power interruptions are necessary, the affected areas will be notified in advance of the date and expected duration of outage.

The campus network and phone services will remain functional throughout the project.

Campus Event:  Traffic and pedestrian travel may occasionally be rerouted in construction areas.  When planning a large scale campus event, go to Fresnostate.edu/adminserv and click on Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade under "Trending Topics" for construction areas and alternate traffic and pedestrian routes. 

Notifications:  Updates on construction progress, expected power outages and traffic and pedestrian disruptions will be sent by, but not limited to: campus email, Bulletin Board, fliers, The Collegian, news release and Twitter (@FSAdmnServices).

Questions, concerns or to alert Facilities of critical activities: Vicki Taylor, 559.278.0145 or vtaylor@csufresno.edu
