The fire stairs are relatively safe and should not fill up with smoke. If for some reason a person becomes trapped in an elevator and cannot call for help because of a disability, the red emergency button on the panel will trigger an alarm that will draw attention to the situation. In the Main Classroom building, the only elevator service currently available is via an old, balky freight elevator that frequently goes out of service. If one should find a person with a disability patiently waiting for the elevator, use the phone near the elevator to notify the CSU police of the situation. The police in turn will notify Disability Services and steps will be taken to see that the individual gets to class.
Elevators are certainly a modern convenience.
