ALERT: VCU Emergency Management will conduct a full test of the emergency alert system Wednesday, Sept. 9, at noon.
This test includes activation of outdoor sirens on both the Monroe Park Campus and MCV Campus, and Alertus boxes and signage across both campuses.
VCU Alert subscribers will receive a text message and email 10 minutes before, at the beginning of and the conclusion of the test.
Beyond the need to check its status, VCU conducts a bi-annual test of the full VCU Alert system to educate our community on the types of alerts they would receive in a real emergency situation.
It is a good idea to learn more about the types of alerting technology now, not later. Do so by visiting alert.vcu.edu. @VCU @VCUHealth #vcu #rva

Walked out of the elevator at VCU and heard music blasting. My first thought was “who’s playing their music that loud in a hospital?” 😂
Then I turned the corner and saw this guy on a little stage just playing live steel drums. Made the whole place feel way less heavy.
Hospitals can feel so serious and gloomy sometimes. Little moments like this actually add some life and warmth to the building. Really nice touch.
