Please be aware.
On Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 6:00 a.m., NCC Systems will complete the final phases of the annual fire alarm inspection of the Student Center. As part of the inspection, the audible alarm and flashing strobes will need to be activated to ensure they work properly.
Our apologies this must be done at such an early hour. Unfortunately this is the only way to perform the required testing and have the least impact on normal daily operations at the Student Center (most notably the Servery meal preparation and serving).
It will likely be heard at nearby residence halls (Price, Graham, and possibly Moore House), but should only be for a short time and only long enough to ensure the system operates as designed.
Any persons in the Student Center when the alarm sounds should evacuate as normal procedure until the alarm is cleared by the technicians.
Finally, this date may change, as the testing is weather-dependent. Part of the testing also involves the operation of building smoke evacuation systems such as automatic opening roof hatches, windows, and doors. So, any rain would necessitate this being done another day.
Thank you for your cooperation and support of our safety efforts.
Please email facilities@clarkson.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
