Elevators

  • If you feel uncomfortable about the person(s) occupying an elevator when the doors open, do not get in. Wait until the next elevator arrives. Stand next to the “floor” buttons.
  • If you do encounter difficulties with an occupant of an elevator, try to push as many of the “floor” buttons you can, or push the alarm bell.
  • Campus elevators have auto dial phones directly connected to Plant Operations for 24 hour assistance. Take the phone off hook, wait for answer, shout for help. University of Waterloo Police will be notified.
