Code blue phones

Emergency code blue phones have one panic button that, when pressed, dials directly into the safety officer's cell phone. They are to be used for emergency calls only.

Emergency code blue phones are installed in the parking lots of the Saint Paul campus, including the Seventh Street parking lot north of St. John's Hall, the library's main east parking lot, multiple locations in the parking ramp and the south parking lot of the ramp.
