Prior to the purchase of new electronic equipment (i.e. PCs, printers, copiers, etc.) it is recommended that you contact your respective campus Facility Operations office to conduct a survey of existing electrical capacities in the area that the equipment will operate. Some building/floor areas do not have sufficient electrical capacity to accommodate new equipment or the relocation of existing equipment, and may require additional or specialized service to be installed. Make your request by submitting an electronic work order to Facility Operations, who will dispatch a staff electrician to investigate. You will be e-mailed by the Facility Manager with the results of the survey, and provided with information pertaining to: what, if any, work is required; related costs of the work; and projected timeframes to complete the work.

There are certain electrical products that are not permitted to be used at any time, as City of Chicago building and safety codes prohibits them. These include:

Extension cords
Hot plates
Space heaters
Cord-type surge protection devices with cords over 6 feet in length

Facility Operations reserves the right to confiscate all hazardous items upon discovery. Hazardous items purchased with university funds will be discarded or destroyed. Hazardous items purchased by individuals will be returned to them under the condition that they immediately remove the items from campus.
