Crews have worked through the weekend to successfully restore power to the College. While some areas are still operating on reduced power this afternoon, all areas are expected to be at full power in time for the start of the new week. This will include areas that involve our external partners, such as the Algonquin College Early Learning Centre, Pro Physio, and the Police and Public Safety Institute.
The College is drawing power from one of its two high-efficiency co-generation natural gas plants, supplemented by generators for many of the buildings.
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.
