In spite of what we do and have done, we had a fire last fall at Gallagher Hall. At worst, dozens of students were forced to evacuate and had their schedules and lifestyle upset for a period of time. Two of our Public Safety officers suffered smoke inhalation and one required hospital treatment. Recent FEMA documentaries state that cost of sprinkler installation in a residence hall equates closely to the cost of carpet installation in the same facility. Sprinklers at Seton Hall would have probably saved the lives of the three students.
Priorities always seem to equate to dollars.
We can only hope that what we do is enough to prevent another Seton Hall. It is provided to disseminate safety information to Creighton University Employees and Students inclusive of regulatory updates and policy changes. We welcome any and all constructive criticism via e-mail, fax 402.546.6403 or phone at 402.546.6400.
