For the next few weeks, construction will be going on in various areas around campus. Director of Emergency Management Stephen J. Abrams has been working with numerous campus organizations to put in a multi-siren speaker array system around campus; it is in the process of being installed and will be for the next few weeks. The purpose of the sirens is to alert the RPI community of emergency or “life and death” situations where, as Abrams said, “students need to be notified immediately. This is not for your typical fire alarm system conducted in your residence halls.”
