According to a UC spokesperson, a fire broke out in Rhodes Hall and was quickly under control as a result of the building’s fire suppression system.
No one was injured but the sprinkler system damaged the electric systems in Rhodes and Baldwin Halls.
The buildings will be closed for the next 24 to 48 hours as officials investigate the cause of the fire, conduct clean up and temporarily relocate research projects as necessary.
Officials said the electrical systems the Mantei Center, Rieveshl and Zimmer Halls were temporarily turned off for about an hour as a precaution, but those building are now fully operational.
The cause of the fire is still being determined.
Officials say they do not anticipate any impact on the start of classes next Monday.
