North Park University on Chicago's North Side closed at least three residence halls Sunday after losing power to the buildings because of flooding.
The Christian college's Anderson and Burgh halls were closed Saturday and Sunday after power was lost, apparently because of the flooded Chicago River that borders the campus. Both halls were shuttered Saturday after the river began to cover electrical transformers that supply power to both halls.
A university operator said Sunday night that power was also out at Sohlberg Hall. The school's Seminary Apartments on Christiana and Foster avenues may also be out, according to the school's Web site.
Students were being relocated to Helwig Recreation Center or to the homes of friends and family.
The university has about 3,100 students, according to its Web site.
