In an attempt to improve security and safety on campus, the University installed emergency sirens on the roofs of Mary Donlon Hall, the Hans Bethe House, the Veterinary Medical Center and Bartels Hall over Spring Break. The $250,000 project is expected to improve the efficiency of Cornell’s emergency notification system.
The battery-powered sirens were installed on mounting poles, which were lifted and placed on the reinforced roofs of the four designated buildings by cranes.
