Evacuation

Evacuation

Follow these steps if you hear an alarm that sounds continuously or are told to evacuate.

  • Leave immediately through any emergency exit that offers a safe route outside. Look for the green and white exit signage.
  • Keep calm and don't run.
  • Don't use lifts and keep left on stairs.
  • Follow all instructions from wardens, Campus Security or University staff.

Also during an evacuation...

  • Do not attempt to return to your room.
  • Do not force smoke and fire doors to stay open, as these are designed to contain smoke and fire.
  • Students in halls should listen to wardens, stay on site, and wait for further instructions.
  • Check the University Facebook page for updates once you are safely at your assembly point.
  • You may receive updates via text or email.
