Access to Buildings Update

September 13, 2019

First, it is the responsibility of all key holders to have their keys available for access to their work spaces.
If you have misplaced your keys and need access to your work areas:

1) Check if your department can let you in the locked area
2) Call University Police Department (UPD) to request access
a. UPD will ask you if you have checked with your department first
3) UPD will check that you have permission to access the requested space
4) UPD will check if an officer is available
5) If an officer is not available UPD will request Facilities Management to open the requested space

Keep in mind, response to medical aid and other life/safety incidents or major infrastructure failures will take precedence over access requests.

If you lose your key(s), notify Facilities Management within 24 hours. 

If your keys gain access to highly sensitive data (level 1), notify the loss to Facilities Management immediately.

Building Hours
Campus Building hours are now posted on the campus map webpage. The direct link is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1msRhsE_bNgSOjgQco-dJTNXXl9xsNLhMcMqYF4DXrOM/edit

One significant change to note is that the Student Business Services Building’s doors are now locked at 6:00 pm. If you need access after 6pm and have a work space in SBS your key will access the door on the west side of the building. If you do not want to use that door, you can go to the east door (UPD side), call UPD and ask for entrance, you will need to wait for an officer to open the door for you.

Overall, the University is working to have consistent building hours on campus. It is a constant balancing act to provide access for students and employees in a safe manner. In the future, there will be additional changes to areas on campus. Look for further communications.
