COLORADO SPRINGS – The University of Colorado Colorado Springs will be conducting lockdown drills in academic buildings starting Tuesday, Jan. 22. It’s the first time drills will take place on campus.
Information has already been sent to faculty, staff, and students. Additional messages will be distributed each day there is a drill, before the drill in the building, and after the drill ends. Those messages will confirm it is a drill, and signs will be posted in buildings to inform visitors.
