ATLANTA — A Georgia Tech combustion lab was evacuated Friday morning after fire crews detected low levels of gas in the building.
The incident at the the Aerospace Engineering Combustion Lab on Strong Street comes a day after another reported leak evacuated a dormitory on campus.
Gas to the research building was shut off and the lab was being ventilated, according to Atlanta fire spokesman Sgt. Cortez Stafford. No one has been reported injured.
Fire crews left the scene before 9 a.m.
“The levels of gas in the building dropped, so now Atlanta Gas Light and Georgia Tech officials are investigating the source of the leak,” Tech spokesman Joshua Stewart told AJC.com. “It’s isolated just to this one lab.”
The building has been deemed safe and only the lab remains closed, he said.
No gas leak was found at the dorm Thursday, according to Stewart. A resident of Hopkins Residence Hall reported smelling gas just before noon, and the four-story building was evacuated as a precaution.

Officials determined the smell was coming from a power generator that contractors were using on the roof.
