Exterior Door Numbering Project
 |
The Office of Environmental Health & Safety has
numbered every exterior door on campus. This door
identification is designed to aid police, fire and emergency medical
personnel during responses to emergencies on campus. In the event of a
large scale incident, emergency responders will come from remote
municipalities to assist the local responders. Their unfamiliarity with
the campus could cause delayed action and/or confusion during the event.
This numbering system will aid tactical communication. Numbers are burgundy on a gold 4” x 4” background. School colors have been chosen for aesthetics. The doors are numbered on the inside as well as the outside of each door to aid persons inside the building with location identification. Each building is numbered in a clock-wise direction with “1” as the main entrance, and each subsequent exterior man-door numbered in order. The clockwise numbering follows the direction of building orientation and labeling established as a standard in incident management systems recognized by emergency responders nationally. The numbers can also be used by facilities staff, contractors, delivery persons, visitors, staff and students, as well. Some examples of their potential use are as follows:
