Key takeaways
- 5th Street Hub will be closed Nov. 16-17, and the Administration Building will be closed Nov. 23-27 for planned electrical upgrades.
- Neither building will be accessible during its closure.
- Employees who work in those buildings should coordinate alternative work arrangements with their supervisors and retrieve anything they’ll need before the closures begin.
Employees who work in the 5th Street Hub or Administration Building should plan for temporary building closures this month.
Both buildings will be closed and inaccessible during their scheduled outages as Xcel Energy and campus Facilities teams complete electrical infrastructure upgrades. Keycard access will be suspended, so employees should work with supervisors to determine where they’ll work and make arrangements for any equipment, materials or other items they’ll need while their buildings are closed.
Building closure dates and details
5th Street Hub: Nov. 16-17
- Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 a.m.: Xcel Energy will disconnect power to allow crews to replace utility wiring and metering.
- Tuesday, Nov. 17, by 5 p.m.: Power is expected to be restored. The building will remain closed until Facilities staff confirm systems are operating normally.
Administration Building: Nov. 23-27
- Monday, Nov. 23, at 7 a.m.: Crews will begin replacing the existing transformer, wiring and metering.
- Friday, Nov. 27, by 5 p.m.: Power is expected to be restored. The building will remain closed until Facilities staff complete safety and systems checks.
Important: Power restoration does not automatically mean a building is open. Employees should wait for confirmation that their building has reopened before returning.
Need an alternative workspace? Use Skedda
Employees who need an on-campus workspace during the closures can use Skedda, MSU Denver’s workspace booking system, to find and reserve available space.
Getting started:
- Select “Register with SSO” and sign in using your MSU Denver Microsoft credentials.
- Browse available workspaces and make a reservation that fits your schedule.
After the buildings reopen, employees who encounter maintenance or building-access issues should share them with the Facilities team.
