Crews have been successful in their efforts to restore power to a large portion of the Ottawa campus. The College has been able to utilize one of its two high-efficiency co-generation natural gas plants, which together can generate enough power to cover the baseline power needs of the Ottawa campus.

As of Saturday evening, we have been able to supply power to all buildings except Buildings T, N, P and S — electrical systems for these buildings are being tested this evening and we are hopeful that power will be restored in these areas over the weekend. We do not yet have sufficient power to run the main chiller that provides cooling to most buildings, so while some buildings have full power for lighting, computers and washrooms, they do not yet have air conditioning.

Crews are continuing their work to restore power to our Ottawa Campus and we are pleased to report that last night our Residence was back to full power. Thank you to all our learners for their patience while we worked to set up generators, and to all the teams and employees who work in Residence for their ongoing support.

The ACCE Building is operating normally and all regularly scheduled activity there will continue without disruption.

We are unable to provide an ETA on the restoration of power to other parts of the Ottawa Campus, which are currently operating on emergency power.
