MANHATTAN — Authorities at Kansas State University and fire officials are investigating the cause of a chemical spill on campus.

Just after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Manhattan Fire Department responded to report of a chemical spill at the Biosecurity Research Institute, housed in Pat Roberts Hall on the Manhattan campus, according to a media release.

The spill was determined to be contained in the room where it occurred.

Kansas State University staff continued clean up and no injuries were reported.
