Power outage leaves Auckland village shocked (not actually)

It’s dark times out here  

Students are left questioning the quality of Massey’s electrical system after the Innovation Complex power outage caused a village-wide blackout on Monday July 15th.  

Zach Hill, resident of Weka Hall and first year at South Seas Studios was confused by the outage.  

“To have one building complex knock out the whole student village for an extended period of time is kind of ridiculous.”  

Residents in the Auckland halls, apartments, and studios had no power from 11pm to 1am.  

Chris Mills, first year in Business, suggested that the electrical system for the accommodation could be made stronger.  

“It certainly seems a bit ridiculous that such modern accommodation facilities can have such a massive electrical failure.” 

Updates were made via Facebook groups, but Mills said emailing residents may have been a better way to notify them. 

A Massey University spokesperson said the evening duty supervisor stayed on shift to ensure no one unauthorised came into the buildings.  

They confirmed the power was off for a couple of hours, from about 11pm to 1am.
