The Georgia Tech Police Department asked people to avoid the school s Technology Enterprise Park while they contained the spill.
According to Georgia Tech, the building is used by the school s Department of Biomedical Engineering as a research space and houses biomolecular analysis equipment.
While officials have not said what caused the spill, they say the building was evacuated out of caution and are working to resolve the issue.
The all-clear was given about two hours after the alert.

“If you choose technical engineering, then you also have to take responsibility”
For someone who didn’t actually know what he wanted when he finished his degree, Thomas Plantenga has done well for himself, and that is an understatement. This alumnus of the Department of Biomedical Engineering is now into his fourth year as CEO of Vinted, Europe’s largest online marketplace trading in second-hand clothing. Aimed at consumers, this platform was worth more than a billion euros at the end of 2019. But money is not his primary motivation. Sustainability and keeping our world habitable come first for Plantenga, and he calls on students to take on their future role of stewardship.

New insight on tissue growth in synthetic vessels used for kidney dialysis
Chronic kidney disease affects the lives of millions of people. It’s a condition marked by the loss of several key kidney functions such as removing toxins from the blood. To compensate for this loss, a patient can undergo regular dialysis to clean their blood, which, in some cases, requires the implantation of a synthetic tube to connect to the dialysis machine. However, this tube can be blocked or obstructed by irregular cell growth, which in turn can negatively affect dialysis. Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology in collaboration with Maastricht University have precisely studied how new tissue grows near these tubes. The paper is published in Nature Communications Biology.
