RELEVANT
INFORMATION
The Wilkins Building has been subject to a number of alterations,
additions and refurbished since it was built. It is a Grade 1 Listed
building, having been constructed around the 1830s. The building is
situated on the east side of the Main Quadrangle off Gower Street. It is
attached to the Slade School of Fine Art, the Kathleen Lonsdale (KLB) &
Physics Buildings on its the north side; and on its south side, to South
Wing & the Bernard Katz Buildings. Most of the space is devoted to
Library Services, Communal & Social / Seminar Space and Catering &
Refectory Facilities.
In addition, there are a number of centrally
timetabled exhibition and function areas under the control of UCL Estates.
There are also a number of smaller academic departments on the ground
and second floors.
The Wilkins Building is in constant use, from early morning to late at night,
for functions, lectures, exhibitions, refectory services, staff common room
and library services; as well as being a ‘through route’ for staff and
students to other buildings. Occupant numbers vary considerably,
depending on the time of day and the activities undertaken in and around
the premises.

Action Notices).
This building’s fire alarm system is monitored on a 24-hour basis by
the UCL Security Control Room who will summon the Fire Brigade.

FIRE
EVACUATION
MARSHALS
(FEMS)
Due to the size and complexity of UCL, it is neither practical nor
feasible to maintain a meaningful register of building occupants to
account for those persons using premises during normal working
hours. It is UCL policy that all Heads of Departments shall
designate sufficient staff to act as Fire Evacuation Marshals
(FEMs), who in the event of a fire or incident will check their areas of
responsibility. FEMs will request politely but firmly that all staff,
students and visitors evacuate the building immediately by the
nearest available fire exit route, they may assist with Disabled
Persons and liaise with the Fire Brigade, as necessary.
SENIOR FIRE
EVACUATION
MARSHAL
(SFEM)
The Head of Department must appoint a suitable member of staff in
each building that the Department occupies, to become a Senior Fire
Evacuation Marshal (SFEM) to:
(1). liaise (if a multi-occupied building) with other SFEMs to ensure
assistance to the Fire Brigade, Duty Security and Estates staff during
normal working hours etc,
(2). co-ordinate the Departmental FEMs, or others such as the
Landlord’s agents and/or other occupiers as necessary,
(3). provide specialist information to the Fire Brigade and the Local
Authorities on any specific hazards related to the premises;
particularly, where there are laboratories or hazardous substances or
processes used etc,
(4). identify themselves to the Fire Brigade and other persons in
authority by wearing a Surcoat or by a coloured safety helmet (Red)
or some other distinguishing marker,
(5). be self-reliant when dealing with a fire incident at the premises.
Therefore, it is important that SFEMs meet the Fire Brigade on arrival
at the building entrance to ensure that they give all reasonable
assistance to the Senior Fire Brigade Officer in attendance.
HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES
Hazardous substances are not used on the premises. Fire Brigade
Contingency Plans contain general information on the hazardous
materials that may be found on the premises.
