If you are unable to use the stairs, and the elevators are not in use due to an emergency, designated areas of rescue assistance are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors adjacent to the front elevator. There is an emergency phone at these locations if you are unable to call 911 from your own phone. The emergency phone is geo-located and connects directly to police services.

Dana Library

There are two exits from the library to be used in the event of an emergency. Since Dana Library is on ground level, evacuating patrons do not have to worry about elevator access.

• Main Door: People using this exit should go straight to the outside.
• Emergency exit door: Located in the south end of the library near the library bathrooms. People exiting from this door should proceed to the exit directly in front of them.
