The interior of the facility was completely renovated in 1990 to house the Department of Public Safety (University Police). The structure contains offices, an employee lounge, and the University Police Communications Center. It is also the location of the University Central Station Fire Alarm Monitoring System.
The building has an interior fire alarm system consisting of manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and audible/visible devices which transmit a signal to the communications center.

Water flow and valve supervisory devices are interconnected to the building fire alarm system. The fire department connection is located on the Northeast corner of the building. Knox FDC caps have been installed on the fire department connection to prevent vandalism.
