A hydrogen cylinder leak in an aerospace engineering lab on Georgia Tech's campus Monday afternoon sent one student to the hospital with minor injuries.

The lab, in the 600 block of Strong Street, was evacuated a little after 4 p.m., but the situation has been resolved, Tech spokesman Matt Nagel confirmed. "We've got the all clear," he said.

Nagel could not yet identify the cause of the leak or the identity of the student, who was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital as "a precautionary measure."
