Installation of the campus’ new emergency phones is complete, and the new system should be ready for use in the next two weeks, according to Paul Nieman, Director of College Facilities.
“There was a programming issue that needed to be resolved,” Nieman said.
When the boxes have been cleared for use, a notification will be sent out describing to instructors the procedure for using these new units.
Pierce is not the only college to have adapted this safety measure in efforts to keep the campus protected and to establish means for prevention of emergency situations.
“We always take a look at the national emergencies and ask ourself, ‘How does it apply to us?'” said John McElwain, Public Information Department at College of the Canyons. “Almost all classrooms [at our college] are equipped.”
“The installation was handled by our amazing carpentry and electrical staff,” Nieman said. “Within the next two weeks, if all goes well, we will be live.”
