Please be advised that certain locations on Laurier’s Brantford campus are experiencing a power outage due to a power transformer malfunction near the Sanderson Centre. The outage has also affected network connectivity on the Brantford Campus. 

At this point, the following buildings have confirmed power outages. These buildings will be locked until power is restored:

• 45 Market
• 97 Dalhousie
• SC Johnson
• Odeon
• Market Darling Centre
• RAC

Power is on at:

• Grand River Hall
• Carnegie Building
• The Expositor

• Instructors will connect directly with students to make alternate arrangements. 
• Students, please monitor MyLS and your emails for information from your instructor. 
• Faculty and staff working in affected buildings should leave campus and finish the day remotely if possible. Staff should connect with their direct managers for further direction.

Laurier’s Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) team is working closely with Grandbridge Energy to troubleshoot the situation. It is anticipated that power may not be restored to the affected locations until later this evening.  

This information has been posted to our websites and social media channels. FAM will advise the university community when the situation has been resolved.
