The Recreational Sports Center was closed for most of Tuesday due to a power outage caused by a failed transformer in the new Aquatic Center.

"It sucks that I had to pay for parking, then come to find out I couldn’t go in," said Ryan Edwards, a sophomore in the School of Management.

The power outage caused power to shut down throughout most of the building. The center, and all of its services, closed down for the day at 11 a.m. and all employees went home by 12 p.m.
