  • The fire evacuation point is the Cornubia Car Park at the front of the building.
  • The fire alarm is tested every Thursday at 1pm.

We care about the planet and we know residents do to. That’s why we’re proud to use 100% renewable electricity in all our buildings and as part of Think Green, iQ’s sustainable mission to do even more, you can help by recycling your waste the proper way at iQ.
