More than 100 people were evacuated from a University of Melbourne building after water from a sprinkler mixed with cleaning products sparking fears of a chemical spill.
About 20 firefighters and specialist hazmat crews were called to the incident on Grattan Street in Parkville around 12:15pm to reports of a possible chemical spill.
A university spokesman said water caused damage in a washing facility in an area occupied by the Florey Institute on the sixth floor of the Kenneth Myer building.
The building was evacuated as a precaution, the spokesman said, adding there were no injuries.
The building was closed for cleaning and is expected to reopen on Wednesday.
