Warren Wilson’s small, tightly knit campus is a safe one. Department of Public Safety officers help ensure a safe environment for the College community and its guests. Emergency phones with blue beacons are located in campus parking lots. During Orientation, students will meet the Public Safety staff, learn the location of the emergency phones and discuss ways to keep Warren Wilson College a safe community.

All buildings on campus are equipped with fire alarms and fire extinguishers; residence halls have smoke detectors in each room.

In addition to their primary role, the Department of Public Safety also provides these additional services;

  • Escort Program: Any member of the Warren Wilson community may request a walking escort at any time.
  • Fire Safety: Education and drills.
  • Parking: Parking Permits are available to all students (including first-years) and are included with your tuition.
  • Lost and Found: Students may inquire for lost items at Public Safety any time.

Campus Safety is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide a safe and secure environment for all our community members.
