Georgia Southern University’s campus is experiencing power issues affecting the Biological Sciences Building, the RAC and the Facilities buildings along Register road this morning.

According to a tweet by the GS Campus, Recreation and Intramurals, the RAC is in “limited use” and that Group Fit classes are canceled until further notice.

Although it is unclear when power will be fully restored to the buildings on campus, Communications Director Jennifer Wise said that Georgia Power is working to solve the problem.

“Georgia Power has re-energized the lines and we will have more information once the buildings have been checked,” Wise said. 

More information will be provided as it becomes available.
