WALTHAM, MA – Bentley University installed a new siren system on campus over the winter to notify the school community in the event of a serious emergency.

The sirens sound an alarm, followed by a voice message with safety instructions to provide immediate information to Bentley students, faculty and staff, as well as nearby residents and community members, visitors, vendors and external organizations who rent space on campus.
