POSTPONED Fire alarm test Nov. 25
The fire alarm system in Cabell Library was scheduled to be tested today. That test is postponed and likely will be performed when the library is closed Friday.
A critical part of completing construction of the new building is tying together the fire alarm system of old Cabell Library with the new system in the new building and ensuring that it works properly. This testing has to be done before the Bureau of Capital Outlay Management can do its final inspection prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy for the third and fourth floors.
On Nov. 25 at 1 p.m.
- All the strobes in the building will flash for about 30 minutes.
- The audible alarm should be turned off.
- All you should see are flashing lights
- They can be ignored. People do NOT need to evacuate the building.
The timing of the tests near the end of the semester and exams is not ideal for students. But, the tests have to be done during weekdays and within the constraints of the state fire marshal’s schedule. The dates and times were selected to minimize disruption to students.
The full test of the system is set for Dec. 3 at 6:30 a.m.
