From the Employee Emergency Plan:

There are multiple public elevators in the library system. All campus elevators are serviced regularly to minimize the risk of failure. However, the possibility always exists that an elevator may malfunction.

  • In the event that an elevator stops and you are inside, please activate the alarm button. This will notify Library Facilities Staff that something is wrong.
  • Do not try to force the doors open or climb out of the elevator on your own.
  • Remain calm and attempt to restore confidence in other occupants in the elevator.
  • If there is a phone in the elevator and you are trapped, use it to provide campus police updated information.
  • If during normal office hours, also notify the Office of Library Facilities: 333-0317.
  • At night, call 911 (MEDCAT).
