These lifesaving devices (see the Fire Life page) are available for use in a cardiac emergency. They are commonly located at ground level in each building and are stored in white metal cabinets marked with a triangular "AED" sign mounted on the wall above.
Enclosed stairwells with doors that are shut all the time or automatically close upon fire alarm activation. With all features working as intended, these locations offer enhanced protection from fire and smoke and provide a safe means of evacuation from upper levels. Their stairwell landings are also the safest location for individuals with mobility impairment(s) to assemble if unable to evacuate using traditional methods.
Note: Ground-level enclosed stairwells are not highlighted as occupants on this level should attempt to evacuate the building using the available exits.
The comprehensive path of egress is indicated by an arrow or line highlighting the possible pathway(s) to a building exit door.
A manual fire alarm initiating device is used to activate the building's visual and audible evacuation signal. Activation will also notify the UPD and the Fire Department via our off-site monitoring company.
Note: when activating a pull station, it is recommended to call 911 (or UPD at x2911) to ensure first responders receive the alarm.
Commonly mounted on a wall hook or inside a cabinet, these devices are used to safely extinguish small fires and are installed throughout a building in hallways, select classrooms, laboratories, and more.
Note: Fire extinguishers are only identified in publicly-accessible areas.
Classrooms, offices, and all other rooms with planned academic or administrative functions.
Interior accessibility features used to traverse a building.
Single or multi-occupant restrooms.
