ENG fire alarm upgrades scheduled from Mar. 17 to Aug. 31, 2025

Facilities Management and Development (“Facilities”) is upgrading the existing fire alarm system in the George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre (ENG) to extend the longevity of the system and modernize components for better maintenance. The work will include installing new cables, devices and electrical panels, then decommissioning and removing the existing system.

The work is set to begin Monday, March 17, 2025 and will take place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. until Sunday, August 31, 2025. 

How this may impact you

To minimize the impact on building occupants, the work has been scheduled to be completed outside of regular operating hours.

Contractors may be required to enter some classrooms, labs, studios and office spaces overnight to install and remove cabling and replace devices. If you have activities in the building late at night, you may encounter contractor personnel in the building. Contractors will make every effort to minimize the negative impact of their work and will ensure that furniture and equipment is protected from dust.
