Another Power Outage Hits West Halls, Waring Commons
Penn State’s West Halls are experiencing yet another power outage, according to a handful of reports from students Thursday morning.
According to one McKee Hall resident, power shut off at approximately 11:30 a.m. Students in Thompson and Hamilton Halls also reported an outage.
About 10 minutes after power reportedly shut off, Penn State Dining temporarily closed all locations in Waring Commons due to the outage. It did not provide an approximate time when power could be restored.
