Fire alarm installation and testing - B Building - April 18, 2024

April 16, 2024

Please be advised, there will be a scheduled fire alarm installation and testing as part of the ongoing elevator modernization project in B Building. This essential testing will occur on Thursday, April 18, 2024, from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and will involve periodic ringing of the fire alarm bells within the building.


Please be aware that the fire alarm will sound throughout the building. This is only a test, and there will be no need for any evacuation unless further instructed by safety personnel or additional alarms are activated.

We advise all building occupants to prepare for this disruption and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. Your safety and comfort are our priority, and we are working diligently to minimize disruptions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we undertake this essential improvement project.
