February 8, 2021
A fire alarm prompted the evacuation of Allison Hall’s residents mid-Monday morning.
A “facilities issue” in the Allison lobby and dining hall triggered the alarm, which began around 11:57 a.m., according to South Area Resident Director Dani O’Hara. No other details on the nature of the issue were immediately available.
Students were ushered outside and into various spaces such as the dining hall tent and Shepard Hall common areas to avoid inclement weather and follow social distancing guidelines.
Allison residents were let back in the hall around 12:20 p.m. in waves and were asked to observe social distancing where possible.
