NCSU received the Gold Rating for Sustainability by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Talley Student Union was constructed with sustainability goals in mind, including compost bins for the bamboo plates used in some of the dining options.
A fire alarm went off in Talley Student Union on Tuesday morning, leading to an evacuation of the building. It is likely that the alarm was caused by dust in the smoke detector, and not a fire, according to Deputy Fire Marshal Kristen Boggs. The building is now safe for entry and the smoke detector will be replaced.
We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
