Pitt spokesman Robert Hill described the lunch-hour incident as “relatively inconsequential,” adding that no one was injured.
The explosion was caused by students studying a type of synthesis using non-toxic chemicals. The building was briefly evacuated before people were allowed to re-enter.
Hill said the University responded appropriately to prevent further incidents.
“You never know when something’s going to happen, but [the University is] aware of what happened and all appropriate reactions did occur,” Hill said.
