Quinnipiac University student center reopens after report of pipe bomb
The student center at Quinnipiac University has reopened after getting a report of a possible pipe bomb on campus.
University officials told NBC Connecticut that Carl Hanson Student Center was evacuated and people were asked to steer clear of the area.
In a message to students, officials said that the Regional Bomb Squad responded to campus for reports of a pipe bomb, but no bomb was found.
The student center and Tator Hall have reopened and the building has been deemed safe.
A spokesperson for Quinnipiac told NBC Connecticut a student saw the bomb threat on social media and alerted authorities. The school says it encourages students who see something to say something.
University officials said classes scheduled to meet in Tator Hall will move online for the rest of the the day. If meeting online isn’t an option, faculty will contact students about course material.
