Power Outage Disrupts Operations at Freie Universität Berlin

Several buildings, IT systems, and facilities at the university remain offline after a major electrical failure overnight.

A power outage occurred overnight at the Freie Universität Berlin, affecting several buildings on the Dahlem campus.
Key areas impacted include the Arnimallee, Takustraße, and Grunewaldstraße, where facilities like libraries and IT systems are offline.
The outage has disrupted scientific experiments, cooling systems, and other critical university operations, though efforts are underway to secure essential equipment.
University officials have ruled out a hacker attack, attributing the outage to a fault in the energy supply system, with investigations ongoing.
Updates on closures and restricted access are being communicated through social media and university websites, though full restoration of power is not expected immediately.
