Evacuation of Buildings


Because of the complexity of the Chemistry Building, it is impractical to assign evacuation routes. Plan your evacuation route before it becomes necessary to use it. Be familiar with it, and always have an alternative route in mind. As a rule, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS. (If fire alarms have been activated, elevators will not operate.) Persons who are unable to walk should be carried. All personnel should assemble in the following areas after evacuating the building:

1928 Wing - Across Ross Street in front of Reed McDonald Building

1932 Wing - On the mall west of the building by the water fountain

1959 Wing - In the plaza area south of the building between Chemistry and Francis Hall; Parking Lot 23

1972 Wing - In Parking Lot 23 south of the building

1986 Wing - Across the street in front of the Halbouty Geosciences Building or Doherty Petroleum Engineering
