► Fire Alarm Testing Schedule

The University of Manitoba Physical Plant is implementing legislated, monthly fire alarm testing at the Fort Garry Campus, effective January 6, 2014. This involves ringing all fire alarm bells/horns throughout the University of Manitoba within the first two weeks of each month. During the fire alarm test, fire bells/horns will be pulsed for 5 seconds repetitively. It is important to note that if a true fire alarm happens to coincide with fire alarm testing, fire bells/horns will stop pulsing and will ring continuously, thereby indicating that you must exit the building and follow established evacuation procedures.

Once again, pulsating fire alarm bells/horns within the first two weeks of each month indicate legislated fire alarm testing by Physical Plant and do not require evacuation.

► Internet Outages - Student Residences

Every Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. all the Internet equipment in Mary Speechly Hall and University College Residence will be reset. If your connection stops working in that time slot, try it again after 9:00 a.m. This should minimize problems on the weekend and probably overall, plus it will give us a chance on a regular basis to see if we have any hardware failures or heating issues.
