The Life Safety Code, NFPA 101, requires that building designed for human occupancy must have continuous and unobstructed exits to permit prompt evacuation of the occupants and allow necessary access for responding emergency personnel. The intent of the code is to keep exits free from obstructions and clear of combustible materials. Attention to housekeeping, therefore, is very important. Combustibles, including recyclable waste paper, are not permitted in exit ways. The code also requires that emergency lighting be provided for means of egress in certain areas.
Smoking is forbidden in all university buildings and vehicles.
