The Haley Center fire alarm went off at approximately 2:30 p.m. today, resulting in an evacuation of the building.
The Auburn Fire Department arrived at the scene and investigated the second floor following a report that someone had been smoking there.
John Lankford, AFD chief, said their investigation showed no evidence of smoke in the building.
"Once we check the scene, we don't do anything else unless the University needs our help with something," Lankford said.
The cause of the false alarm is currently unknown.
