Contact

This is a guide for when the University, its agents, its tenants, and its programs should be in contact with the FMBIO. Whether inside or outside of structures, in nearly all types of construction, alteration, special event, life safety system service, and building system alteration, our office may be required to be involved and/or be a valuable resource.

Per Connecticut General Statutes, agreements, and policies, the FMBIO is the primary building, fire code, and fire prevention code enforcement authority for most construction in UConn owned buildings, as well as work in privately owned buildings on UConn owned land. This office is a building permit issuing authority and is the primary Local Fire Marshal “authority having jurisdiction” in all University owned buildings, and on University owned property.
