Fire Protection

Criteria

Any fire suppression system must be designed to be compliant with the governing codes of the time. Through renovations over the years, Norwood Hall has been kept up to code

The fire system has a standard detection system with alert devices. There are two vertical standpipes in the building that run all the way up to the third floor, located in the stair towers. On each floor in each staircase the pipes are connected to fire hose units. The building contains a wet sprinkler system, which means that water is readily available in the pipes in case of a fire.

Next to the stairwell are fire rated walls, and the emergency exits are clearly labeled at the two staircases.

Also, there are several fire pulls and extinguishers on each floor.

Building Security
There are no physical security systems located in the building. The only things close are the call boxes located around the outside of the structure.
Emergency Lighting
Norwood Hall contains a centralized emergency lighting system in case of power failure.
