UnfoundedNo evidence of an actual threat was found. The institutional response is documented because the alert communication is identical to what would occur during a real incident.

A phoned-in bomb threat around 5:30 p.m. MST on February 10, 2025, targeting the College Hill Library on FRCC's Westminster campus prompted Front Range Community College to cancel evening classes and close the campus. Westminster Police and campus security evacuated the buildings and searched the grounds, finding nothing of concern. The campus reopened as usual the next morning.

INITIAL ALERTSMS
Approximate reconstruction225 chars
FRCC ALERT: A threat has been received against the Westminster campus/College Hill Library. EVACUATE the building now and move to a safe distance. Classes are cancelled for tonight. Do not return until an all-clear is issued.

This text has been reconstructed from news coverage and may not reflect the exact original wording.

The threat targeted the College Hill Library, a facility shared between FRCC's Westminster campus and the City of Westminster — complicating the evacuation footprint beyond the college alone.
Reconstructed wording; coverage confirms a text alert was sent and the campus was evacuated, but the exact alert text was not recoverable from a primary archive.
ALL CLEARSMS
Approximate reconstruction256 chars
FRCC ALERT: Police and campus security have completed a search of the Westminster campus and found nothing of concern. The campus has been given the all-clear. Evening classes remain cancelled; the campus will reopen for normal operations Tuesday, Feb. 11.

This text has been reconstructed from news coverage and may not reflect the exact original wording.

The all-clear lifted the threat status but preserved the evening class cancellation, distinguishing 'building is safe' from 'operations have resumed.'
Reconstructed wording consistent with the reported sweep result and the Tuesday reopening.
Context

Background

Front Range Community College's Westminster campus shares the College Hill Library with the City of Westminster, so the roughly 5:30 p.m. MST phone threat on February 10, 2025 affected both a college and a public library at once. Westminster Fire units responded alongside police, and FOX31 Denver reported the campus was evacuated while crews searched the buildings and grounds. The sweep revealed nothing of concern, and Colorado Community Media reported the college cancelled Monday evening classes but reopened normally on Tuesday, Feb. 11. The incident is one of several bomb-threat scares FRCC has faced over the years across its multiple campuses.
Analysis

Key Findings

The shared College Hill Library meant a single threat call forced both a community-college campus and a municipal public library to evacuate simultaneously
FRCC distinguished the all-clear (building safe) from operational resumption, keeping evening classes cancelled even after the search ended
An evening-hour threat tested the alert system's reach to students who may already have left for the day
Outcome
A search by Westminster Police and campus security found nothing of concern; the campus was given the all-clear. Monday evening classes were cancelled and the campus reopened Tuesday, February 11.
