From the University of Wisconsin:
This morning around 10:45 a.m., the UWâ??Madison campus was affected by a widespread power outage.
FP&M is restoring power intermittently to affected buildings through backup sources. As a result, some air conditioning capacity may be affected this afternoon.
All are asked to look for ways to reduce heat by closing off unused areas or shutting off unneeded, heat-producing equipment.
FP&M is working as quickly as possible to restore all systems to normal capacity.
