Buildings & Grounds will be conducting state-required fire alarm inspections and tests in our academic buildings over the May 11-12 Bishop Break. There will be no need to evacuate the buildings during testing. The work will take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. It will result in alarms sounding and strobe lights flashing multiple times per building based on the following, tentative schedule:
Tuesday, May 11
- Merrick Hall
- Beeghly Library, OWU Archives area only
- Branch Rickey Arena (short test alarms)
Wednesday, May 12
- Finish Branch Rickey Arena
Note: 10 Williams Drive will have its kitchen hood fire-suppression system replaced May 11-12. There will be a few short fire alarms to test the system in the kitchen. Equipment under the hood will not be usable till the replacement is complete.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Gregg Blume, Electric Shop Supervisor, at 740-368-3410 or ghblume@owu.edu. Thank you for your cooperation during these required tests.
