Emergency Telephones on our Downtown and Macdonald Campuses
The emergency phones (older model shown) have a blue light that is lit at night so you can see it easily.
Press the red button. You will be connected with Security Services.
These phones can be found:
- Inside the entrance of most major McGill buildings
- Inside every elevator
Consult the night route maps to locate emergency phones across both campuses.
Public telephones
- Call Security Services for free at any public payphone on campus 398-3000 (Downtown Campus) or 398-7777 (Macdonald Campus).
- You can use public telephones to call 911 for free.
- Once you've contacted 911, call Security Services so we can assist First Responders. Certain areas of the campus are difficult to find and avoiding a delay in life-threatening situations is crucial. We will provide a prompt response and an escort to the emergency services responding to your call.
