Update 05 May 18:48 : Many Macdonald Campus of McGill University buildings to remain closed on Monday, May 6 including Macdonald Campus Library - McGill University

Unexpected technical constraints have led to a delay in returning to regular electrical power for the eleven buildings at Macdonald Campus that have been on emergency backup power over the weekend for a planned electrical shutdown. Though the crews continue to work on restoring power to all buildings, the work will not be completed in time for us to reopen the buildings as planned at midnight tonight.

We must therefore extend the closure of the Macdonald Campus Library into Monday, May 6th, all day.

We are working on restoring power as soon as possible and will provide an update on Monday before the end of the day. https://www.mcgill.ca/library/channels/news/may-3-6-planned-electrical-shutdown-and-closure-macdonald-campus-library-357023
