A Georgia Tech dormitory evacuated Friday morning amid concerns about a possible gas leak has reopened, campus police said.
Students were allowed back into Fulmer Residence Hall on the west side of campus just after 10:20 a.m after the building was deemed safe.
The dorm was evacuated less than 30 minutes earlier, officials said in a tweet.
University spokesman Lance Wallace said workers were repairing a gas line and chose to evacuate the building out of an abundance of caution.
Officials with Atlanta Fire Rescue, Atlanta Gas Light and Tech’s Environmental Health and Safety responded to the scene to supervise the repair, Wallace said.
The university’s library was evacuated Thursday afternoon after officials smelled gas on the other side of campus.
