Power surge on campus


Update, 4 p.m.: All systems and chillers are now back online.

While re-starting chillers in the Central Plant, there was an  electrical power surge causing momentary loss of power to some buildings and potential total loss of power to others.  

Facility Services staff are working to restore electrical operations to normal.  Please report any power outages across campus to Customer Service at ext. 24740.

At the same time, a generator appears to have overheated at the ET Clarke Centre, setting off smoke alarms. Smoke is clearing. Hamilton Fire on scene as a precaution.
