The AMBS buildings alarm system comprises 2 zones, identified below:

  • Zone A – covers the ground floor up to and including the 4th floor.
  • Zone B – from the 5th floor up to and including the 10th floor.

Depending on which zone the emergency has been detected in, you will hear either an intermittent or a continuous alarm sound.

It is recommended you leave the building immediately via your nearest exit and make your way to the front of the building where the assembly point is located.

Safety Signage is displayed in all University buildings across campus:
