Impact Details
Facilities, Engineering and Infrastructure (FEI) will perform a phased Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting upgrade to improve energy efficiency and lighting performance on the first and second floor at 2452 Watson Court
o A Light‑Emitting Diode (LED) is a modern lighting technology that produces light more efficiently and with less heat than traditional bulbs
The work will replace existing compact fluorescent lighting with new LED fixtures throughout the building
The work schedule is as follows (please see the work schedule and map below):
o Monday, June 8, 2026 – Sunday, June 21, 2026: First floor upgrade, phase 1
o Monday, June 22, 2026 – Friday, July 3, 2026: First floor upgrade, phase 2
o Saturday, July 4, 2026 – Sunday, July 19, 2026: First floor upgrade, phase 3
o Monday, July 20, 2026 – Monday, July 27, 2026: Second floor upgrade, phase 4
o Tuesday, July 28, 2026 – Friday, August 7, 2026: Second floor upgrade, phase 5
o Saturday, August 8, 2026 – Sunday, August 16, 2026: Second floor upgrade, phase 6
o The work schedule may be adjusted depending on work progress. Updates will be shared once made available
Work will occur during overnight hours and weekends to minimize operational impacts
Temporary access to individual rooms or corridors may be limited during fixture replacement
Action required: Occupants are advised to take personal belongings with them at the end of the workday and ensure that patient or sensitive information is properly secured, as work will be performed after hours
This project aims to replace fluorescent lights with LED lighting to improve our Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and comply with California's 2025 ban on fluorescent lights. The upgrade will not only provide significant energy savings and reduced maintenance costs but also enhance lighting quality. This proactive improvement supports environmental sustainability goals, ensures regulatory compliance, and provides lasting cost savings and operational efficiency
