All buildings at the University of Colorado at Boulder were open by about noon today following an alert Thursday morning that resulted in the temporary closing of 19 campus buildings following a report of suspicious persons at Boulder High School.
Also, vehicular access to two residence halls for end-of-semester move-out has been restored. Access to the College Inn for move-out is available to vehicular traffic by using 19th Street off of Arapahoe Avenue. As of 12:15 p.m., 17th Street was still closed. Sewall Hall also is now accessible via University Avenue for students moving out of the residence hall.
CU-Boulder commencement ceremonies will proceed as scheduled on Friday beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Folsom Stadium.
A report of two suspicious individuals at nearby Boulder High School early Thursday morning prompted temporary security measures at CU-Boulder.
