Fire Safety

Halls/Stairways, shared kitchen along with all apartments are equipped with smoke detectors connected with the fire alarm for each yard. The main fire alarm is located in the outside storage area. Room keys can be used to open the “window” in front of the main fire alarm. Check carefully if it is a false alarm before the main alarm is sounded. The alarm is not directly associated with the fire department. Each room is equipped with a smoke alarm. Student Housing changes the batteries once a year. There are mounted fire hoses in the stairway that reach all of the rooms. The apartments have their own fire hose mounted in the kitchen counter.

Fuse Box

The fuse box for the rooms is placed in the entrance. The apartments have boxes inside.

Laundry Facilities

Laundry facilities are in the shared house.

The machines can be used from 0700-2400 (7am-midnight)

There can, unfortunately, be theft from the laundry facilities.  Therefore, do not let clothes stay in the machines.  Take them out as soon as the washing is complete.

Storage Areas

The rooms have storage areas on the ground floor (1.etg).  A storage area for sports equipment is outside of every entrance for both the rooms and apartments.  Do not place valuable items in the storage area and always remember to lock it.
