The invention discloses a campus escape device and a mounting method thereof. The campus escape device comprises a base, a bottom plate and a top plate, one end of the bottom plate is rotationally connected to the base, the other end of the bottom plate is connected with the other end of the base through a first boosting mechanism, a first driving mechanism is arranged on the bottom plate, and a foot limiting mechanism is arranged on the first driving mechanism; and the top plate is connected with the base through a second boosting mechanism, a second driving mechanism is arranged on the top plate, and a hand limiting mechanism is arranged on the second driving mechanism. The mounting method comprises the steps of base machining, bottom plate machining, top plate machining, escape device assembling and escape device running. The campus escape device can achieve conveying to the ground from a high position through the foot limiting mechanism and the hand limiting mechanism, personnel can be conveyed orderly, the mounting method is simple in step, the escape requirements of different floor heights can be met, the safety and reliability in the escape process are improved, automatic operation is achieved, meanwhile, the escape personnel can escape in sequence, and trampling is avoided.
