Hazmat crews were called to the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage on the Kansas University campus Monday morning.
Crews arrived at the garage on Irving Hill Road about 10:45 a.m. after a report of a chemical on the third level near the KU Parking and Transit office.
KU Public Safety Spokesman Capt. Schuyler Bailey said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical workers packaged up a sealed, labeled bottle containing two chemicals that was found in the parking garage.
“It’s not a hazard. It’s in a container and it’s sealed,” Bailey said. “At no time was there a release of any product.”
Bailey said the packaged bottle was turned over to personnel with the KU Environment, Health and Safety department.
Crews cleared the scene about 11:40 a.m.
