After more than 24 hours of interruption due to electrical failuresThis Wednesday afternoon, the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) will resume its activities. The decision was taken by the management of the university after the power supply was restored in the early hours of the morning. After verifying the proper functioning of the affected services, the management has decided to resume all teaching activities of the afternoon shift scheduled for this Wednesday in all official studies, non-official and continuing education in all buildings on the campus of Palma, and videoconferencing classes at the headquarters of Menorca and Ibiza and Formentera. In the early hours of Tuesday morning there was a short circuit in a protection element of the electrical network of the Beatriu de Pinós building, which includes a key node of the medium voltage network that connects several buildings on campus, as explained by the university in a note. As a result of the failure, a significant part of the campus buildings were without power supply. The failure affected electricity, water, air conditioning, servers and communications services, among others. In addition, during the early hours of Tuesday afternoon, a second incident occurred, also in the Beatriu de Pinós building, as a result of the initial failure. At that time it was decided to suspend teaching activities.
