Health/ Safety /Environmental Information
Building Security and Access
The Maricopa Community College District Office has a written emergency response plan that identifies
the need for employees to evacuate during specific emergencies. During an evacuation, building
occupants are expected to safely evacuate the District Office and report to the Assembly Point.
Employees are asked to complete the District Emergency Evacuation Orientation workshop located at
the following link: http://www.maricopa.edu/employees/divisions/hr_train/evac/ If you have problems
or questions, please contact Michael Bryant at X18311.
Building Security can be reached by dialing 18911 from any phone within the District Office building.
Normal business hours for the District Office are:
Standard Hours (Beginning of August to End of May) Monday - Friday
Summer Hours (End of May to Beginning of August) Monday –Thursday
8:00 am – 5:00 pm
7:00 am – 6:00 pm
Building keys can be requested by submitting a work request at the Security Desk located on the 1st Floor,

Friday during standard hours, closed on Fridays during summer hours.
ADA Requests can be made by contacting Employee Relations at Ext. 18480.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire, locate and activate the alarm nearest you. There is a red manual pull evacuation
alarm close to every building exit. Be prepared to use it the instant you become aware of a fire. This will
sound all alarm bells and initiate evacuation. DO NOT use the elevators. Exit the building using the
staircases that are located on the North and South ends of the building. The alarm will automatically
notify fire-fighting authorities. Once outside the building, report to your assembly point. You will be
notified when it is safe to re-enter the building. If the alarm stops sounding, continue to your assembly
point.

In case of a medical emergency, contact 9-911. Automatic external defibrillators (AED) are located near the
elevators on the first, third and 6 floors. Designated employees throughout the building are certified to use this
device.
