Evacuation of Chemistry Building and surrounding buildings on Eastern Avenue

Our F11 Chemistry Building and surrounding buildings on Eastern Avenue at the Camperdown campus were evacuated this afternoon following a fire inside a laboratory. The building remains closed. Staff and students are being advised to temporarily avoid the area until the emergency services operations are complete. There are no injuries to students or staff, and we are working with emergency services and building management to ensure the safety of our community and a return to normal operations as soon as safe and practical.
