Update: Students and staff were permitted to re-enter the building around 2:15 p.m., roughly 90 minutes after the evacuation.
Several dozen students and staff were evacuated Tuesday afternoon from the Integrated Science Building along Summit Street on the Kent Campus following a problem with a liquid nitrogen tank in a student lab.
Investigators said there no injuries or damage, and that hazmat first responders were dealing with the faulty tank.
Traffic was slowed through the area, but the adjacent campus buildings and roads remain open.
