You may have received a series of alerts yesterday by email or text message from UCLA reporting an evacuation of the Molecular Science Building yesterday.
From CBS News: Staff and students inside of the University of California, Los Angeles' Molecular Science Building were forced to evacuate Thursday after reports of an unspecified "environmental hazard" were reported. No injuries were reported, though the building was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
Both UCLA campus police and fire department units rushed to the scene at around noon after learning of the hazard. A Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad and Los Angeles Fire Department personnel were also called to the scene. The remainder of UCLA's campus remained open throughout the day. Charles E. Young Drive South was closed between Tiverton and Manning Drives for an unknown duration as authorities investigated the hazard.
An "all clear" bulletin was put out at 9:45 pm. But it had no information on what had occurred. Nothing has appeared in the Daily Bruin as to the event or the cause as of this posting at around 7:30 am.
What is not "clear" is what happened or why no explanation was released about what had happened.
