Around 11am today, a UNF campus police officer discovered a suspicious looking package near building 9. Over the next several hours, much of the campus was closed and students were evacuated. The bomb squad was called in to provide back-up.
Ultimately, four suspicious packages were dicovered. A student approached officers to inform them that the boxes were part of a multi-media art project. After inspecting the items, police lifted the evacuation order. The campus was reopened in the early afternoon and within a couple of hours most classes resumed their normal operation.
Students seemed to be taking the scare in stride, and as of 9pm over 450 people had joined the Facebook group: “I survived the ‘art project’ of 2008″
