To provide members of Alverno College and surrounding community with a direct means of contacting The Department of Campus Safety, the college maintains Blue Light Phones. Blue Light Phones
are most frequently recognized by blue lights on the top of the phones. The phones are available in the Parking Structure and other parking areas on the west side of campus and on the south
side of the Fire Pit Fieldhouse by the Soccer Field. More than a dozen phones provide direct contact to an On-duty Officer with Campus Safety. The phones may be used for emergencies and
non-emergencies, or for vehicle assistance.
