Physical Plant Department to Replace Electrical Duct Bank During Holiday Break

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 20, 2016) — During the holiday break, the University of Kentucky Physical Plant Department will be replacing a main electrical service duct bank from the Gatton Business and Economics building to the Advanced Science and Technology Commercialization Center (ASTeCC). The electrical duct bank serves over 30 percent of the buildings on the north side of campus. 

This project will improve reliability of the electrical service to these buildings and increase the capacity of the electrical service for future campus renovations and development. The work will not require an electrical outage to any of the buildings. The construction site will be blocking the access and pathways to several buildings in the core of the campus. 

A map of the construction zone can be found here. The campus community should make plans for alternate routes when walking to the affected entrances.
