The energy plant at Wichita's Century II Performing Arts and Convention Center had a small fire early Saturday morning.

ASM Global, who operates Century II, says the fire caused catastrophic damage to a transformer, which provides power to the HVAC system in the round portion of the facility. This means there is currently no heating or cooling for the building. At this time, no events have been cancelled. With the mild weather, staff anticipates minimal impacts for guests visiting the facility.


ASM Global, The City of Wichita, and Evergy are already working to restore this system and anticipate it will take a few days until a new transformer can be put in and wiring redone.
