All first floor exits are accessible to the outside except:

Building 2 east side (by HIM lab exiting towards building 10)

Building 2 Blair Hall lobby

Building 8 gymnasium and weight room exits

Building 9 east side

Direct access to outside is also available from the basement of building 8 on the west side, from the lower level of building 10 (machine shop ramp), and from the building 20 mezzanine. Upon completion of cafeteria renovations, direct access to outside will be available from the cafeteria and the LRC mezzanine level.

A building does not have to have direct horizontal access to outside in order for people with disabilities to evacuate independently. Since a fire will likely only affect one building, an alternate for safe escape is to use the building connectors with one or more fire-rated doors closed between buildings.

The following areas have horizontal exits to connected buildings:

Buildings 1-7 basement levels and third floors (except between 1 and 7 on third floor)

LRC mezzanine level into buildings 1-7

LRC lower level through art gallery into building 7

Building 8 basement level into buildings 4, 5, or 6
