A commenter to this blog recently asked why we now list street addresses on the new campus signage. "Why a shift from 1870 Miner Circle to having individual addresses for each building?"
Good question.
The reason has to do with assisting first responders in the event of an emergency. As we discovered during an incident that occurred on campus in February 2007, some emergency responders had a tough time finding the right building. In addition, providing specific street addresses for buildings, rather than the generic but descriptive "1870 Miner Circle" address, will make it easier for freight deliveries.
More information about the new address system, including a listing of all the street addresses, is available online at the printing and mail services website.
