UMass Medical School will conduct its annual fire evacuation drill for the Medical School Building on Monday, Aug. 19 at 1:30 p.m.

All occupants of the building, including those in the Lamar Soutter Library, are required to evacuate at that time, and will not be permitted to return inside until the drill’s conclusion.

This drill does not include the Lazare Research Building or Albert Sherman Center.
