Reports are coming in of a gas leak at the new law clinic building on the University’s Canterbury campus.

People have been evacuated from Eliot, Rutherford, Templeman Library, and the Senate.

The leak has been caused by a contractor cutting through a pipe, and has been contained.

Those on campus are being advised to keep windows closed as there may be a strong smell of gas.

Campus security were assisted by gas experts on site.

All buildings have now reopened.
