Emergency systems testing on the Hamilton campus
Attention students and those living in close proximity of the Hamilton campus! 📢
The University’s emergency response systems are being tested today at 1pm. The test will last for a maximum of 15 minutes and you do not need to do anything.
If you are on campus, you’ll hear a siren, and access-controlled doors will lock but you will still be able to leave a building if you need to using the door release buttons.
While we are testing our systems, we encourage you to think about what to do in any emergency scenario.
