Students were evacuated from the Tyler School of Art tonight as a fire broke out inside the building.

As fire and police personnel arrived at the scene, students waited across Norris Street. Thirteenth and Norris streets were blocked off by police vehicles for a short period.

Tina Yanni, a senior painting major who saw the fire, said a graduate student spotted the fire inside a locked room and “scrambled” to find a key.

A Temple police officer confirmed that the fire was contained.
