Lawrence Hall evacuated due to bomb threat
DPS found no bomb after
sweeping the building, and
is following up on leads in
hopes of finding a suspect
By Lisa Catto
News Reporter
A bomb threat called in to
Lawrence Hall forced the 8 a.m.
evacuation of staff and hundreds of
students from the building Tuesday.
Department of Public Safety Lt.
Herb Horner said DPS officials
evacuated the building and per
formed a sweep after a caller with a
female voice claimed there was a
bomb in the building. Officers
found no suspicious objects. There
are no suspects but DPS is still fol
lowing up on some leads, Horner
said.
Michael Smith, director of facili
ties services for the School of Archi
tecture and Allied Arts, said the
dean's office received a phone call
stating there was a bomb in the
building and everyone should get
out. He estimated hundreds of stu
dents were evacuated.
He said the students and staff
were able to return to Lawrence
Hall at about 9:15 a m.
Several of the stranded students
migrated to the EMU Fishbowl.
Fourth-year landscape architec
ture student Jaime English said she
was inconvenienced by the evacua
tion. She said many architecture
students were scheduled to give pre
sentations on their projects, adding
that she was not giving a presenta
tion when the building was evacu
ated. I lowever, she was working on
assignments, and the evacuation
broke her concentration.
English said this time of year is
pivotal for the architecture students
who are working on projects and
assignments, especially for those
enrolled in a studio class.
"It's getting into crunch time for
review week," she said.
Another stranded fourth-year
landscape architecture student,
Joshua Shaklee, was frustrated by
the evacuation because he was slat
ed to present his project later in the
day, he said.
"This is cutting into my prep
time," Shaklee said.
Smith said he hopes the bomb
threat was an isolated and random in
cident.
"This is unique, and 1 can't re
member the last time this hap
pened," he said.
