UW’s Van Vleck Hall reopens today after power outage

UW-Madison students who have classes scheduled in Van Vleck Hall will be able to attend their classes today, after a power outage Monday forced the university to cancel classes in the facility.

The outage was caused by flooding early Monday morning when water leaked into the basement of the building. Van Vleck is home to the university’s math department.

Transformers were damaged in the basement of Van Vleck, which also knocked out power to a half-dozen other buildings.
