Three blue lights installed, additional 22 within next month
The University of Nevada, Reno has installed three blue boxes on campus out of the 25 that should be up and running within four weeks, Jane Tors, spokeswoman for UNR, said.Though the three are installed, they are not running because workers still have to work on the electrical wiring.
The three towers are located in Hilliard Plaza, in front of the Joe Crowley Student Union and north of the quad.
Seventy-two blue light phones are already located in parking garages around campus.
Tors said the blue light phones are equipped with two different buttons. One button rings directly through to 9-1-1 services while the other button contacts campus escort services.
“The button for the campus escort service is more like a courtesy call, whereas the 9-1-1 button is for emergencies only,” Tors said.
