Stairwells

Stairwells are to be used only in an emergency situation. They are not to be used as a means of non- emergency egress from the Building and smoking is never allowed within the building. Stair doors and street level exits are electronically monitored and inspected regularly. Once in the stairway, a telephone is located approximately every fourth floor and is a direct link to the Console; however it may be necessary to walk down to the ground level to exit. However, in the event of an emergency, the magnetic locks will automatically be released and access to and from any stairwell will remain readily accessible.
