The Durham Police Department received a call at about 7 a.m. Tuesday morning informing them of a bomb threat to Duke University’s Bryan Center, the student union on campus.
The building was evacuated and a full sweep of the premises was performed, according to Duke University Police.
Police determined there was no bomb by 9:15 a.m.
Randy Young, spokesman for the UNC Department of Public Safety, said officials at the University would have responded in a similar manner.
“I think the law enforcement and first response community is at a heightened level of awareness,” he said.
