- Hazers in the Black Box
—
Concordia University has initiated a new policy to help prevent false alarms on campus. No hazers or fog machines can be used on campus without the prior permission of the university Fire Prevention team and the location sensors must be bypassed.
This means that hazer and fog machine are no longer permitted in the Black Box without following this same process. If you wish to use a hazer or a fog machine in the Black Box, you must contact the Resource Coordinator at least two weeks prior to your planned usage in order to allow for the application process. Be aware that the University will charge you for the cost of the bypass.
We understand that this is disruptive to many Researchers working in the Black Box and we are working to modify the Universities position but in the mean time we expect all Black Box users to follow this directive.
