UPDATE: September 9, 2013

As part of the ongoing Energy Conservation project, the conventional ON/OFF light switches in more than 2,200 classrooms and offices on the Wright State campus will be replaced with occupancy sensors in the coming months. These sensors will automatically shut off lights in rooms that are unoccupied for a period of time, resulting in tremendous energy savings. This technology is now mandated by code, and the new buildings soon to be constructed will also have sensors like these. To install the new devices, the existing lighting circuits must be turned off. In many campus buildings we are unable to know beforehand which offices, classrooms etc. are on individual lighting circuits. To minimize disruption to the campus community, the plan will be to do all of this work on third shift.
                                                    
Tentative schedule for the work (PDF)
Diagram of what the new sensor looks like (PDF)

Please let us know via email response to the project manager Ted Terrell if there are any issues with the tentative schedule. Thank you for your patience as we continue to implement this important project.

Over the next 26 months, the university will be implementing a $25 million project that will renovate, update and consolidate heating and cooling plants as well as install new and more efficient lighting and building control systems. This will be a comprehensive project that can be thought of as 50 smaller projects all across the Dayton and Lake campuses and at other university buildings.

The projects below are sorted first by facility name, then by the level of disruption they will cause. 

We urge all of the campus community to respect and obey the construction signs and barricades in place as this work progresses. These are in place for your safety and the safety of others.
