STORRS, Connecticut — Power at the main University of Connecticut campus in Storrs has been restored Thursday afternoon but classes will remain canceled for the day.
Officials said classes and other workplace operations return to their normal schedules tomorrow morning.
Officials said the cause of the power outage isn’t yet known, but it was a partial outage on two underground electrical circuits, including the one that caused issues Monday.
The outage affected several academic buildings that usually host many afternoon and evening classes, necessitating the cancelation of classes.
Spokesperson Stephanie Reitz said in an email, "It was much quicker repair than we dared to expect, but for which we’re very happy. The campus community was notified by text and email a few minutes ago."
Classes and operations at the regional campuses in Hartford, Stamford, Waterbury, Avery Point, UConn Health, and the School of Law are not affected.
Power was out to the campus on Monday.
