ATLANTA - Georgia Tech officials say a classroom and office building were evacuated today after a minor explosion in one of the laboratories.

Public relations director Lisa Grovenstein says no one was injured in the noontime incident at the Ford Motor Co. environmental science and technology building.

She says the university's emergency notification system was activated by accident after the explosion, sending e-mails, text messages or voicemail to everyone on campus. A follow-up notice has been sent letting the campus know that the notification was a mistake.

The university and the Atlanta Fire Department are investigating the cause of the explosion.
