Georgia Tech’s library was evacuated Thursday afternoon amid concerns about a possible gas leak, police said.
The building, which was under construction, was evacuated just before 4 p.m. The smell has since dissipated and students were allowed back into the building around 4:30 p.m., university officials said.
