Testing Fire Suppression Sprinkler Systems 

Starting Monday, July 13 and ending approximately Friday, August 14, Facilities Management will be testing the fire suppression sprinkler systems in some buildings on the Main Campus, Spring Valley and 4401 Connecticut Avenue. During the testing, there might be a foul odor, or water flowing into the garage drains, but no other interruption is anticipated. In the event any repair or service interruption should arise from the testing, we will send additional notice. Please share this information as you fit.

 Schedule- Work will be done from 6am until approximately 4pm daily.
