Published Oct 1, 2026 · via Telemundo PR

The University of Puerto Rico's Recinto de Ciencias Médicas resumed operations after being evacuated due to reports of 'objectionable odors'. The Fire Department's Special Operations Division responded to the scene and conducted an evaluation, ruling out a gas leak or any hazardous situation in the Guillermo Arbona building.

Following an inspection by the Dean's Office of Administration and the Fire Department's Special Operations Division, it was deemed safe to return to the building, and administrative and academic activities were authorized to resume.
