Fire Safety Notice to Residents Spring 2024

Please review the above letter that is sent to all residents each semester. 

New York State Education Law requires notification of fire safety standards and measures in all college-owned or college operated housing. To facilitate compliance the following information is provided:

• Central, Crossroads, Farside, and the Olde are not sprinklered.
• Outback, Fort Awesome, Wayback, Alumni Village and the Commons are fully sprinklered.
• The fire alarm system in our buildings have state of the art voice capable addressable fire alarm systems. This allows college emergency personnel to respond quickly to the area in question and also allows for authorities to broadcast emergency messages over the fire alarm system from each building.   Each residence hall has been outfitted with fire extinguishers in public hallways and in each kitchen area. The apartment communities are outfitted with fire extinguishers in each kitchen area. University Police and Residential and Student Life staff are on duty twenty-four hours a day a seven days a week to respond to any fire related emergency.
• Building Evacuation procedures should be reviewed by all students.

• Additional fire safety information may also be found in the annual Clery-Fire Report
