Weather Emergency:
In the event of a weather emergency during building hours, Students should find shelter in the nearest restroom, windowless offices, or proceed to the room B660 in the lower level. Building occupants should avoid using the elevator even if it is in service as a power failure may occur in transit. Maps to the nearest weather emergency shelters are indicated on the emergency maps located at each stairwell, entrance, and classroom. At the beginning of each semester instructors will review the emergency plan for each classroom where classes are held.
Building Evacuation:
In the case of fire or building mechanical failure the occupants may be asked to evacuate the building and proceed to a designated staging area. Staff members wearing orange emergency vests will be on hand to assist with a orderly evacuation. Maps to the nearest emergency exit are indicated on the emergency maps located at each stairwell, entrance, and classroom. At the beginning of each semester instructors will review the emergency plan for each classroom where classes are held.
