Redheads to be banned from campus from Tuesday
The dreary walk into University up Union St East was made a little more exciting on Wednesday morning, with the already scaffolding-covered College of Education Auditorium surrounded by four fire engines responding to the sight of smoke.
According to a University spokesperson, a “small, smouldering” fire started up backstage in the Auditorium at 8.15am on Wednesday May 5th, at which point usual emergency protocol was followed, and 30 people were evacuated from the building. Another 32 were evacuated from the Childcare Centre, but around 9:30 in the morning the fire was extinguished by the fire department. No one was harmed in the incident.
