The Chancelry building is the location of university vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt's office.
A university spokesman said all staff were accounted for and safe in the building.
"At this point in time there is no indication that there is any immediate threat or danger to staff in the Chancelry or to the wider ANU campus and community," the spokesman said.
"The situation is contained.
"ANU is assisting emergency services with their ongoing investigation."
An ACT Policing spokeswoman said road closures were required as a result of the operation.
