A building on the University of Iowa campus was briefly evacuated after what investigators described as a suspicious smell.
According to a Hawkalert sent out just after 1:15 Thursday afternoon, a strong gas smell caused the evacuation of the Chemistry Building on North Capitol Street. A second Hawkalert sent about a half-hour later indicated Iowa City firefighters were allowing people back into the building, and a third and final Hawkalert sent at 2pm indicated the issue had been resolved.
No other details about the incident have been released.
