Nicholson Hall on the University of Minnesota's East Bank was evacuated around 11:30 a.m. Friday after a bomb threat was discovered earlier in the day. University police called the all-clear a little after noon.

Between 7 and 10 a.m., University police received a report that a handwritten threat was found on the wall of a stall in the first floor men's bathroom. University Police first did a visual search of the building and then evacuated the premises to search with bomb-sniffing dogs, according to University spokesman Steve Henneberry.

Anoka and Hennepin county police also were on site with their dogs. No bomb was found.

Classes have resumed as normal, according to Henneberry.
