Building & Fire Safety

Building & Fire Safety is dedicated to providing the highest level of building-related life safety and code enforcement for the campus community and all who interact with it. As a Delegated Authority of the Nebraska State Fire Marshal, the team enforces the State Fire Code and works with Facilities Planning & Capital Programs to ensure that the University receives positive return on all construction investments. Building & Fire Safety's work involves monitoring every aspect of the University's changing skyline and interior environment—ranging in scale from the smallest remodel to landmark structures—and providing a full range of required inspections for the University community.
