Baruch’s Facilities and Operations team works diligently to keep our elevators in safe working order. Because of our reliance on vertical means of transportation, Baruch College has made a significant investment in ensuring our elevators are functioning and in service including:
- Services from an on-site third-party provider to maintain our elevators daily.
- Regular independent inspection and testing.
Even with this critical oversight, we could use your help! The steps below will make a meaningful difference in reducing outages or further wear and tear:
- Avoid overcrowding the elevator cabs. Consider taking the stairs where possible to lessen crowding.
- Do not use your body to hold open or lean on elevator doors.
- Keep clothing or bags clear of closing elevator doors.
- Never use an elevator in the event of a fire.
In the event an elevator gets stuck, or something is not working correctly:
- Please remain calm and use the emergency call button or phone to notify Public Safety and follow their instructions.
- Never attempt to exit a stalled elevator without the help of building management or emergency responder.
- Move to the rear center of the elevator and face the doors while waiting for help.
- Be courteous to other riders especially those that need assistance.
