Power has been restored on our Canterbury Campus

Update: 04/01/22 at 12.50

Following the earlier power cut, we are pleased to confirm that power and internet access has been restored to the whole of the Canterbury campus and the Templeman Library has now reopened. Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience caused.


We have been made aware of a power cut temporarily affecting some of the buildings on our Canterbury campus. We currently believe the buildings with no power are Rutherford, Rutherford Annexe, Templeman and Tyler Court. Due to the power issue, the internet is also currently down in Darwin and the Postgraduate Study space in the Senate building. This is part of a wider outage affecting Canterbury and work is underway to address the issue.

In the meantime, if needed, staff should move to another building temporarily to work where they can.

Templeman library is closed for the time being and alternative study spaces are being highlighted. Here’s a full list of places to study on campus.

Given the localised power issues, we recommend you save work regularly throughout the day wherever you are working in case they are short-term outages as power is restored.

We will provide a further update shortly.
