On-Campus Student Housing Facilities Fire Safety Systems

All the rooms, hallways, and stairwells of the residence halls have smoke detectors and sprinklers. Fire alarm pull stations are located in all buildings, and fire extinguishers are located on every floor. Emergency phones/bells are located in the elevators in the event of an emergency. The smoke detectors are wired to the building's main fire alarm system and, when activated, will set off the alarm system for the building, prompting an evacuation. The fire alarm panels communicate with Texas Tech Police Department dispatch and dispatch will notify officers on duty and dispatch Lubbock Fire Rescue when a fire alarm system has been activated. The Texas Tech Fire Marshal's Office is notified under certain circumstances. Housing staff members will initiate their emergency response plan and procedures for fire-related incidents.

The following table contains detailed information about the fire safety systems within each of the residence halls.
