Liberty without power

Liberty University was without power for just over an hour Friday, March 20. According to Senior Vice President of Construction Planning Charles Spence, the outage affected everything on main campus, stretching from Liberty Baseball Stadium to dorm 33 at the far end of South Campus.

The power went out shortly after 4:45 p.m. and was restored around 6 p.m., according to the News & Advance, which cited American Electric Power (AEP) officials.
All Liberty classes after 5 p.m. were canceled as a result of the outage.

Spence said the outage was caused by a defective capacitor on the AEP overhead line on Wards Road.
