the background: humanities campus consists of just about the crappiest of all university buildings – some of the lecture rooms had to be closed down because parts of the ceiling were coming down. its system of elevators is the only one in innsbruck (that i can think of) that i absolutely don’t trust.
when there was a fire alarm two weeks ago, i also noticed that every floor seems to have their own alarm signal. i set my mp3-player to record when we walked down two storeys and out of the building, and you can hear a mix of the different signals.
