Since we are now part of downtown Akron we should be able to use the Downtown Akron Partnership safety escorts during their Hours. Also if you see something out of place and the Downtown Ambassadors are not available dont hesitate to call the police Non Emergency 330-375-2490 or Emergency 911.

In the interest of safety, I strongly suggest that nobody is ever alone in the space, day or night. The *buddy system* works for divers, climbers, soldiers, and bar hoppers. Working at SH with at least one other person on the property will increase the level of safety for all involved. It is
