Multiple buildings on campus were evacuated after a bomb threat at Tufts University's Medford/Somerville campus on Wednesday.

Tufts University Police and the school's Office of Emergency Management both tweeted around 3:40 p.m. that Ballou Hall, Miller Hall and the Campus Center are being evacuated "immediately."

An NBC10 Boston crew at the scene said an all-clear was announced around 4:25 p.m. and people were being allowed back into the building.

Tufts University officials confirmed the threat and a tweet was sent out by the university's official Twitter account shortly after 4 p.m.

Those in need of shelter were directed to the Aidekman Arts Center at 40 Talbot Avenue or the Joyce Cummings Center at 177 College Avenue.

More details were not immediately available.
