Fire Alarm System
Upon entering your guest room, take a moment to learn two emergency evacuation routes, excluding the elevators. On the back of each guest room door is a fire evacuation plan with your room location.
If you detect evidence of fire or any other emergency condition, dial 9911 and call the front desk ( 0 or 79050).
The fire alarm is a zone alarm. For example, if the alarm is activated on the sixth floor, the alarm will also sound on the floor below and the floor above. In this case, the alarm would be sounding on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. If you are located on the third floor, you might hear the alarm as it travels/echoes through the stairwells and ventilation system. In any case, if you hear the alarm, you must evacuate the building by using the stairwells and proceed across the street. As other fire/smoke sensors are activated, the alarm will also sound on these affected floors.
The entire building is equipped with a sprinkler system.
If the fire department determines to evacuate the entire building, they will sound the alarm throughout the building. If you hear the fire alarm, please evacuate the building until the fire department determines it's safe to re-enter.
Keys & Security Information
A photo ID is needed for security purposes. (FDIC Employee ID or other.)
The main doors to the lobby are locked from 6:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. Please use your FDIC student proximity card to enter the building.
One proximity card per guest room will be issued upon arrival.
The proximity card allows you to gain entry into certain secured areas throughout the L. William Seidman Center. You will find the card reader mounted to the left of the front doors. Please be advised that there is a $30.00 charge automatically added to your folio for the proximity card. This charge will be deducted from your account upon retrieval of the card at check out.
