Unscheduled Power Outage: Penn State University Park - Multiple Buildings

Last updated on October 7, 2009 at 2:10PM

A power outage occurred this afternoon in the Bristol Park area. The local power company anticipated that power would be restored by approximately 6:40 PM, this evening. However, commercial power has returned as of 1:00 PM. The buildings affected by the power outage (and where the UPS went onto battery) included ARL West III (Atotech), ARL West IV, Bristol Place I, Greenleaf Park One, and the Torsell Building. The UPS battery in the ARL West III (Atotech) building became exhausted, which resulted in a disruption of phone services until commercial power was restored; approximately 13 minutes. Voice services in the other aforementioned buildings remained operational throughout the power outage.

For more information, please contact Network Operations Center (814-865-4662).
