Evacuation Device= Public Health


I have often wondered how people who can’t walk would exit a building’s upper level in an emergency in which elevators aren’t working, like a fire. I found my answer in the Wilk! The device is located right by a set of stairs, and it is a vital piece of public health during any emergency. In addition to students and visitors who are confined to wheelchairs, BYU’s student population is very active, which means there will always be injured students as well, making this device very necessary. Even in non-emergency times, its presence ensures the public that BYU is prepared.
