PC campus loses power, cancelling 7 p.m. classes

PROVIDENCE -- A power failure has hit Providence College this afternoon, and all 7 p.m. classes are cancelled.

The college is largely without power at this hour. There is some back-up power in place, according to college spokeswoman Pat Vieira.

A National Grid transformer on Huxley Avenue malfunctioned and power went down shortly before 3 p.m., Vieira said, adding that National Grid is working on the matter.

Classes at 4 p.m. are going on as scheduled.

Students may call the emergency message line at 865-1012 for information.
