A power outage affected Central Grounds Monday evening. The outage started around 5:40 p.m. and lasted for about 45 minutes.
Affected buildings included Newcomb Hall, Monroe Hall, Alderman Library and the Special Collections Library.
Roger Yeatts, assistant control operator for University Facilities Management, said a malfunction on two circuits at the Cavalier Electrical Substation resulted in the outage.
Rob Richardson, senior communications specialist at Dominion Power, said a fallen tree limb caused the malfunction.
“It was a tree limb that fell on Dominion’s power line and that caused a momentary outage and U.Va.’s equipment to [shut off],” Richardson said in an email statement.
