Much of the Arkansas Tech University campus in Russellville experienced a power outage from approximately 11:15 a.m. to 12:18 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11.

Personnel from Entergy responded to the outage and restored service.

Officers from the ATU Department of Public Safety conducted a building by building check on campus to ensure that no individuals were trapped in elevators and assisted any who are.

Power generators were operational at Corley Hall and Chambers Cafeteria to ensure continuity of operations from an information technology perspective and a food service perspective during the power outage.
