Unexpected power outage causes classroom disruptions

On Monday, October 5, 2015, there was a power outage on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus that caused classroom projection systems to malfunction. It's estimated that this outage affected approximately 50 classrooms in over a dozen buildings, including:
  • Akerman
  • Armory
  • Blegen
  • Burton
  • Cooke
  • Carlson
  • Ford
  • Humphrey
  • Lind
  • Murphy
  • Rapson 
The Office of Classroom Management has successfully reset the projection equipment and will continue to resolve the few remaining issues. Working in conjunction with U of M's Facilities Management team, investigations have begun to try and determine how to minimize the impact of unplanned disruptions in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience and any negative impact to you, your students or classes.

Please contact OCM at 612-625-1086 if you encounter any issues with your classroom functionality.
