About an hour ago, the PSU TXT service sent out the following text:

UPark alert MSG: Suspicious package found on Old Main patio. Police on scene. Avoid area. Details soon: http://live.psu.edu/

The Collegian reported that police are on the scene and that the building has not been evacuated. Minutes ago, Penn State’s Facebook page announced that “Police determined package is safe. Area re-opened.” More details as they become available.
