A campus-wide power outage struck San Diego Mesa College Tuesday afternoon after a circuit breaker popped open.
Jennifer Nichols Kearns, Director of Communications for the college, said that partial power was restored, but as of 6 p.m., more than 1,500 customers in the area were still without power.
According to SDG&E, the unplanned power outage affected as many as 2,700 customers in Clairemont, Linda Vista and Mission Valley. Within minutes, crews were able to restore power to more than 600 customers.
An SDG&E spokesperson told NBC 7 that crews arrived on scene to repair the circuit breaker that broke just before 4 p.m.
"San Diego Mesa College is currently experiencing a campus blackout," said a spokesperson for the college on their social media account. "Classes will be canceled for the remainder of the day."
The estimated time of the repair is 2 a.m., according to SDG&E.
Kearns said that classes should resume as normal on Wednesday morning.
