Pat Anderson, the college's director of environment, safety and security, told the Elko Daily Free Press that Southwest Gas officials had notified her they can resume a normal class schedule on Monday.<br><br>

The leak blamed on aging pipes about 30 years old prompted evacuations at the Greenhaw Technical Arts building, Lundberg Hall and the welding and diesel labs.<br><br>

Lundberg Hall, the oldest building on campus, was built during the early 1970s.
