Most of the Lafayette College campus went dark Sunday evening after a power outage. As of Monday afternoon, most academic buildings appeared fully powered, though a campus-wide email late Sunday night stated that main-campus classes were to be canceled or held online, and non-essential staff were to stay home.

Another campus-wide email sent Monday night said the outage was caused by tree damage to two electrical poles near the Leopard Parking Deck and the Bushkill Creek, with estimates that power would be restored late Monday night. At the site of one damaged pole, an IB Abel lineman working on repairs said he was not sure exactly when power would be restored, but that it was “gonna be late.”

Bailey Health Center and two dining locations — Marquis Dining Hall and Cinco — are open and fully functional. Skillman Library and the Kirby Sports Center gym are closed. Markle Hall is open with power, though Monday’s admission tours were canceled. Many academic buildings appear to have full power, and several professors convened their classes in person despite the email.

Due to the outage, the deadline for fall semester course withdrawal was extended to Tuesday at 5 p.m., according to an email from the provost’s office.

The outage comes nine days after the last, when most of campus lost power Halloween evening and stayed dark for more than a day.
