The electricity went out in two buildings on the University of Arkansas for Medical Science campus Thursday, though neither building houses any patients, authorities said.
UAMS Vice Chancellor Leslie Taylor said a switch gear — similar to a breaker box — malfunctioned in the Daniel W. Rahn Interprofessional Education Building, which provides power to another education building as well, around 8:20 a.m. Thursday.
A group of students undergoing orientation and several employees were moved from the affected buildings into another education facility, Taylor said.
Power returned to the facility about 5 p.m. Thursday, Taylor said.
