The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) no longer operates on-campus student housing facilities. However, the below information pertains to the University's on-campus housing facility, Pascault Row, which was sold in 2025 and is included in the 2026 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASR). The 2026 ASR, which will be published on Oct. 1, 2026, will be the final ASR to include fire safety information pertaining to on-campus student housing.
The Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act of 2007 amended the Higher Education Opportunity Act to require each eligible institution to: (A) make, keep, and maintain a log, recording all fires in on-campus student housing facilities, including the nature, date, time, and general location of each fire; and (B) to make annual reports to the campus community on such fires.
The published annual fire safety report must also include the following with regards to on-campus student housing facilities:
- The number of injuries related to fire that result in treatment at a medical facility.
- The number of deaths related to fire.
- A description of each on-campus student housing facility fire safety system, including the fire sprinkler system.
- The number of regular mandatory supervised fire drills.
- Policies or rules on portable electrical appliances, smoking, and open flames (such as candles), procedures for evacuation, and policies regarding fire safety education and training programs provided to students, faculty, and staff.
- Plans for future improvements in fire safety, if determined necessary by such institution.
