Barrett Athletic Administration Center Work Notice - February 8 & 9, 2020

CSULB is replacing the damaged communication cable lines at the Barrett Athletic Administration Center (BAAC) over the next two weeks. Throughout the work week there should be no interruption of services to the building.  However, over the weekend of February 8 and 9, Beach Building Services will be transferring the existing phone services to new cable lines. This means that the existing phone, fire alarm and elevator service in the BAAC will not be functioning while the work is ongoing. BBS will do its best to complete this transfer as soon as possible and will send notification to the campus if there are any alterations to the current plan and schedule of this work.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please contact Senior Construction Manager Rafael Quezon at Rafael.Quezon@csulb.edu with any questions.
