The Mt Albert campus of Unitec was evacuated after a bomb threat was received.
Police assessed the situation supported by the campus’s security team, the head of the incident management team for MIT and Unitec Dan Brady said in a statement on Friday.
Students, staff and the community were the top priority, he said.
“We have received the all-clear for our operations to resume at the site.
“However, schools have the option to deliver online today to minimise any further disruption to learning caused by this incident. Normal services will resume from tomorrow.”
Earlier today, a Unitec staff member said they were worried about the evacuation.
The person said police and ambulances were on site.
