The Office of Disability Services and the Disability Housing Committee--in coordination with the Offices of Public Safety and Facilities Services--are
committed to researching, developing and implementing life safety strategies
which are responsive to the needs of all students with disabilities.

1. Life Safety and Disability: Information Sheet

2. Barnard Student Life Safety Information Card (LSIC)

3. Residence Halls Strobe Alarms Update

As of 9/1/09, the following Barnard residence halls have one (or more) rooms that are equipped with a strobe/flashing alarm for use by students who are deaf or have other hearing impairments:

Elliott
Hewitt (two rooms)
600 West 116 Street
620 West 116 Street
601 West 110 Street
Sulzberger/first-year housing (two rooms)

If you have a diagnosed hearing impairment and are unable to hear the standard floor audible alarm, please contact ODS as soon as possible to discuss your situation. Please note that since these systems are permanently
installed in designated room locations and are *not* portable, students must make their Disability Housing Requests well in advance of move-in and comply with all applicable Residential Life and Housing deadlines.
