As an added security measure for users of the library, an emergency phone has been added to the lobby of Duane G. Meyer Library. The phone is located in the vending machine area on the west end of the main lobby. 

Emergency phones are located at various shuttle stops, parking lots, parking garages, and pedestrian walk areas throughout campus — and now in the main lobby of the library. Emergency phones automatically connect to Public Safety when activated. The Public Safety office will know your location, even if you cannot speak into the phone, and will dispatch an officer to the location immediately to investigate.

The Emergency Phones are very easy to use. They are designed for one button contact. Dialing is not necessary.

Many of these Emergency Phones also have speakers for our campus wide Public Address system. If there is a known threat in the area, these emergency phones will announce the threat and provide emergency instructions.

Use these phones without hesitancy for:

• Emergency information
• Fire alert
• Medical assistance
• Police assistance
• Reporting crimes or suspicious persons
