An Emergency Notification Service alert notified the campus of the cleared search after 6 p.m., although it did not specify what would happen to classes in the building.

Pitt sent out an Emergency Notification Service alert for the bomb threat in Chevron Science Center just after 5 p.m., urging everyone to evacuate the building.

Emergency responders and the city’s bomb squad responded at Chevron Science Center and searched the building with K-9 units. The building, on Pitt’s upper campus, is on the 200 block of Parkman Street in Oakland.

Pitt spokesman John Fedele said that the University sent out the alert after a Pitt employee found a message in a Chevron Hall bathroom that stated a bomb would go off in the building at 8:30 p.m.
