A person died at Old Dominion University’s Batten Arts and Letters building Wednesday, leading the school to cancel classes there and close it down.
On the school’s website, ODU officials said the person “passed away following an incident” and that “there was never a threat to the broader campus, and there is no ongoing threat.”
School officials said all other campus operations will proceed as planned.
