Dear Campus Community,
We wish to inform you of an incident that occurred this weekend.
On Friday night, May 3, Campus Safety responded to a call reporting the sound of breaking glass in the vicinity of the Olin Fishbowl. They found a person inside Olin 270a surrounded by damage to the building and property inside the classroom. Olin 1 was also affected. In addition to the damage, Campus Safety detected the smell of natural gas and called 911. CSPD, CSFD, and Colorado Springs Utilities responded. The gas was shut off to the building and the building was cleared for occupancy.
No security or safety threats to our campus community remain.
As always, the safety of our students, staff, and faculty remains our number one priority. Special thanks to Facilities, especially Marcus Moreno, Luke Scott, and all the other staff involved, for the hard work they did over the weekend repairing the damage and keeping our community safe.
It is important to note that this was an isolated incident and is completely unrelated to the encampment on Tava Quad or anyone associated with it.
Sincerely,
Pedro
Dean of the College and Chief Operating Officer
