Fire Life Safety Testing Advisory: August 12-13, 2026

The Department of Public Safety and Transportation will conduct regularly scheduled testing and maintenance of Adelphi's fire life safety systems (standpipes and sprinklers) on our Garden City campus on Wednesday, August 12 and Thursday, August 13, 2026.

This testing is required by New York state and should have minimal impact on your day. During testing, you may hear an alarm for a few seconds; evacuation is not required. In a true emergency, the alarms would ring continuously, and we would directly communicate any need to evacuate.

Following testing, there may be a slight discoloration of the water in some campus buildings. This temporary condition can be easily resolved by running the water for a minute or two.

We appreciate your understanding and support of our community's continued safety and well-being.
