Fire and emergency procedures

If the fire alarm goes off:

• Leave the building as quickly as possible via the nearest exit.
• Lifts must not be used.
• If you are dependent on the use of a lift you should go to the nearest enclosed staircase.
• Please make University Security aware that you are in an enclosed stair case and need assistance leaving the building. The Evac-chair (a specially designed wheelchair to transport disabled persons downstairs) will then be deployed should there be an indication of a genuine fire.
• If you cannot hear alarms there are pagers at the Library Reception Desk which you can borrow. These will vibrate if the fire alarms sound.

Toilets

• The toilet blocks are located in the South-East corner of each floor, near the lift.
• There is a toilet suitable for wheelchair users on each floor.
• All the toilets are gender neutral.

Drinking water

There are drinking water taps on each floor, near the lift.

Recycling

There are bins throughout the building for paper, newspapers & magazines, food/drink cans & plastic bottles and general waste.

There is a coffee cup recycling station on A Floor near the staircase at the entrance.
