WHAT HAPPENED?
Multiple buildings on the Georgia Tech campus experienced a brief power outage.


WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?
At approximately 8:15 AM, Thursday, December 19, 2013.


WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
That's currently being investigated.


WHO WAS AFFECTED?
Affected buildings included CCB and KACB.  Equipment not attached to uninterruptible power supplies rebooted.  This included workstations, servers, and network switches.  Proximity card readers were offline following the outage.  The LAWN authentication page is offline.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Users whose directories or email clients did not reconnect or whose networking reverted to LAWN should reboot their systems.  Wired LAWN and wireless GTother users should switch to GTwifi until the LAWN login page is restored.


HAS THE PROBLEM BEEN RESOLVED?
Most systems and door controllers appear to be back online, but TSO is still in the process of checking systems and door access.
