Plant Services will be doing fire system testing in the physical therapy wing of the Roberts Center today (Tuesday) through Thursday, Feb. 11-13. The testing will start after noon on Tuesday and Wednesday, and after 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Every detector will be tested (hallways, offices and classrooms). The strobes and horns will be silenced during the testing, but the control panel will beep a notification.
What is the test? A Plant Services technician will be spraying simulated smoke by every detector head. When the detector notices the smoke, the panel will beep. (There is no way to silence the panel.)
On Thursday, Feb. 13, Plant Services will return after 5 p.m. to test the strobes and horns. During this test, the horns will sound for 30 minutes and will be very unpleasant. The testing will be over by 6:30 p.m. that evening.

As service animals and emotional support animals become more common in public venues, a few guidelines will be helpful to promote positive experiences for students, faculty and staff within the George Fox community. These guidelines are intended to protect the rights and safety of all community members.
No one should interact with a service animal or emotional support animal unless given permission by the handler.
If any member of the George Fox community indicates he or she has an allergy or phobia to dogs and is affected by the presence of dogs on campus, please notify the Disability Services Office as soon as possible. We will work toward a solution that meets the needs of all involved.
The university allows emotional support animals in campus housing under certain conditions. Students must have approval from the housing office and the Disability Services Office prior to bringing an emotional support animal into campus housing. Emotional support animals are not permitted in university buildings except approved campus housing
This information, along with more details, is available at this link.
If you have questions related to a service animal or emotional support animal on campus, please contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu), director of Learning Support Services.
