BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bennington College said on Tuesday a fire that broke in a building on campus had been contained and firefighters were putting it out.
The Vermont college posted on Facebook that the fire on Tuesday was in a two-story building called “the Barn” that contains classrooms and the college administrative offices. It said the building was evacuated and no one was injured.
A school spokeswoman said the building, which was once a working barn, houses some administrative and faculty offices and language, literature and social science classes that were canceled Tuesday afternoon after the fire broke out.
A student told the Bennington Banner that flames were leaping out of the building.
The school is a small private liberal arts college near the New York border in the town of Bennington.
