Campus Operations Notification: Fire Alarms Testing Set for March 9-13

OWU Facilities will conduct state-required fire alarm inspections and tests during spring break, March 9-13, in several campus buildings.

Inspections will be conducted from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. If your building is affected, you do not need to evacuate during testing, but note that alarms may sound and strobe lights flash multiple times.

 Buildings to be tested are:

  • Beeghly Library
  • Branch Rickey Arena
  • Chappelear Drama Center
  • Corns Building
  • Early Childhood Center
  • Edgar Hall
  • Edwards Gym / Simpson Querrey Fitness Center

In addition, the state elevator inspector will be on campus next week to conduct required inspections. Elevators may be temporarily out of service for 5-10 minutes at a time throughout campus.
