Food and Nutritional Science building to be open on Monday morning

Sunday, 13 March 2016

The first, second and fourth floors of the Food and Nutritional Science building will be open as usual on Monday morning.

This follows the successful cleaning of a chemical spill that occurred in a laboratory on the third floor on Friday.

The University’s Health and Safety Services Director, Moira Simpson, said: “The affected area has been cleaned up and we expect the third floor to be open as well – subject to a re-assessment in the morning”.

The chemical spill took place on Friday afternoon. Staff and students were initially evacuated to the first and second floors, before a decision was taken to evacuate the building.

No one was injured during the incident.
