SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) — Six construction workers are hurt after an athletic building under construction collapsed at Bryant University in Smithfield, and a university spokeswoman says none of the injuries are thought to be life-threatening.

Spokeswoman Elizabeth O'Neil said it happened around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday when the workers were in the process of installing steel beams on a new indoor practice facility and the beams collapsed.

All six workers were taken to Rhode Island Hospital.

The company listed as managing the construction is AZ Corp. Construction Management. A woman who answered the phone said the company was "not aware of any building collapse," and was not taking any calls.

Construction began on the 78,000-square-foot building in May, and it was due to open in 2016.

The university is 12 miles outside of Providence. Classes are scheduled to begin Sept. 8.
