The University of Connecticut Avery Point campus in Groton closed at 3 p.m. Thursday due to a power outage that left much the area without electricity, according to university spokesperson Stephanie Reitz.
All classes and campus activities in the afternoon and evening have been canceled, Reitz said. No other UConn campuses are affected.
The outages are expected to be resolved by tomorrow and Friday classes will be held as scheduled, unless university officials announce otherwise.
Strong winds overnight knocked down tree limbs and cut power to parts of the region.
