Please keep fire doors closed
|
During a recent fire marshal inspection, it was noted several fire doors across campus were propped open. Wedges kept near these doors have been removed, and the doors now have labels on the edge that are only visible when they are open. If you see a door with one of these stickers propped open, please close it. If a wedge was used to prop it open, please pick it up and contact Operations & Maintenance so they can retrieve it.
