Incidental parking is only allowed after the head of the Facilitary Service has given permission.

In front of the building students can find an bicycle rack. Using the locked bicycle garage in the basement involves a down payment, which can be paid at the Facilitary Service. It is not allowed to park bicycles in or around the academy.

Fire

  • For small fire incidents (e.g garbage bins):
    Call the reception at 070-3154700 or dial internal line 9.
    Report who you are and where you are. The reception will immediately notify the Emergency response team (BHV team).
    If you know how to use the manual fire extinguisher, try to put out the fire (only in case of small/beginning fire incidents).
  • For bigger fire incidents:
    Press the Fire alarm. This will trigger a direct signal to the fire brigade and will activate the sound alarm (slow-whoop).
  • If you hear the sound alarm, leave the building immediately. Use the stairs. Do not use the elevators under alarm conditions! Close doors and windows behind you (but do not lock them).
  • Follow the instructions of the BHV-ers, recognisable via their special yellow shirts.
  • Department heads, coordinators and tutors advise students to calmly leave the building.
