Code Blue Phones
For isolated areas of campus there is a direct line to security through the UI Department of Public Safety's Code Blue phone system. These 22 emergency telephones are mounted on 9-foot steel columns, are wheelchair accessible, include instructions in Braille and have a highly visible push button on an illuminated telephone faceplate. A single touch on the push button summons campus officers, allows dispatchers to hear what is going on, pinpoints the exact location of the trouble, and triggers the bright blue police-type strobe light on top of the phone. This brightly lights the surrounding area. The Parents Association Enrichment Fund, established by parents of undergraduate students, and University maintenance funds, financed the security phone project in 1992. |
