Power out in the RCB – Restored!

*Edit* Power was restored at 11:30am.

Power is out in the Resource Center Building so there is no telephone/chat access to the Ische Library. It is unknown when access will be restored.

*update* The Nursing/Allied Health Building and Parking Garage are also on emergency power. Entergy is estimating a noon restoration.
