Each lamp is checked regularly by the Physical Plant Division preventive maintenance program. The more heavily traveled walkways on campus have been well lighted and equipped with emergency telephones to promote and enhance personal safety, especially during night hours. Those areas of campus that are traveled by foot during day hours, but are impossible to light for nighttime travel, are posted to discourage use after dark. Pedestrians and pedalcyclists should travel the lighted pathways and not take short cuts that could jeopardize their safety. Lighting surveys are conducted each semester.
Immediate action is taken on re-lamping needs, tree and shrubbery trimmings, etc.
As a result of these surveys, a continuous lighting priority list is maintained for funding each fiscal year. These surveys are conducted jointly by police officers, students and university officials. Student Government has also been involved in this process and has taken a leadership role in identifying lighting needs and securing funding for new lighting projects. Inherent in these objectives is the charge to provide a safe and healthy environment in which the university's activities can be pursued. Responsible for pest and fire safety services.
