Greetings Campus Community,

Simplex is performing an update on the fire alarm system in the Public Affairs Center (PAC). As part of the update procedures, the system will need to be tested.

Your patience and understanding are appreciated as we work to ensure campus systems are operating properly and are up-to-date.
