corrected to include the replacement of unauthorized locks with prison type locks and properly opening
egress doors. A construction/renovation project in Dorm 6 will bring the remaining noted Life Safety
issues into compliance. Exits signs in the units should be reviewed by the authority having jurisdiction
for current code compliance and replaced if required.
