Large, silver, reflective numbers are on all exterior doors of campus buildings. These numbers are placed in the upper-right-hand corner of the exterior door. Numbering follows a north-side, clockwise system. No. 1 is the first door on the north side, making No. 2 next as we move clockwise around a building. Stacked doors are numbered from the lowest door up. These numbers are to be used in the event of an emergency. Reporting parties are to use the building and closest door number when calling in an emergency.

Example: “Miller Hall door #1”

Solid exterior doors will also have the number placed on the interior in the lower-right-hand corner for quick identification.
