A chemical explosion at Bradley University's Olin Hall, 827 Elmwood, left 
no injuries Tuesday.

Police and firefighters responding to a fire alarm in the building found a 
cloud of white dust in the lab. The explosion caused a form of ether to 
dissipate around the room.

Officials cleared the building, ventilated and secured the area. A 
hazardous materials contamination area was set in place inside the lab.

The lab was locked down until it could be decontaminated and the building 
was reopened. Two students were in the lab at the time of the explosion 
but no injuries were reported.
