Power outage closes Cal State Long Beach and cancels in-person classes

Students at Cal State University Long Beach received an alert Tuesday evening that in-person evening classes were cancelled and the campus was closed due to a campus-wide power outage, school officials said.

Those on campus were asked to leave and others were told to stay away. Students living on campus were told to stand by for further directions. Southern California Edison crews were on scene working to restore power late Tuesday evening.

The cause of the outage was unknown, but classes and campus facilities would return as normal Wednesday, said Gregory Woods, a spokesperson for the university.
