A blaring fire alarm was heard coming from the 700 building today at 10:45 a.m.

Students were evacuated from the building while Campus Safety searched for the cause.

Ramon Reyes, 19, undecided major, was one of the students inside the building when the alarm went off.

“I didn’t think it was that serious,” Reyes said, referring to the evacuation.

Students stood in front of the 500 building, across from the 700 building, waiting for clearance to return to class.

Faculty and students were able to return to the building after five to 10 minutes.
