Parts of the campus wi-fi and wired networks have been disrupted this evening, Wednesday 1 July, following a brief power outage.
Many parts of the campus temporarily lost mains supply just after 8.00pm. Central IT systems continued to operate on back-up power and most services are now working normally. However, the networking equipment serving some Arts buildings is not yet back online.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this is causing and we're working with our colleagues in Sussex Estates and Facilities to return all services to normal as soon as possible.
UPDATE: 1 Jul 2015 - 9:24pm
Network services are now working normally again. Our colleagues in Sussex Estates and Facilities were able to restore power to the network equipment in Arts just before 9.00pm.
Other parts of the network were briefly affected by the loss of power in some parts of the campus just after 8.00pm. Central IT systems temporarily operated on back-up electricity but remained available throughout the evening.
