Facilities Liaisons:
The purpose of this email is to share details of the door lock procedure in place until Monday, September 30th, the beginning of Fall Term 2024. All of our building locking procedures are designed to protect against theft and vandalism while also providing access to specific public facing buildings on the UO’s campuses. Please note the following:
- Most university building doors will be on the summer locking schedule until the beginning of Fall Term. This means that some doors that are usually unlocked during normal school sessions (i.e., Fall, Winter, and Spring Terms) will remain locked or will remain on a different unlocking schedule (i.e., different days/hours) pending a request for an exception.
- Some buildings with public facing services may not be subject to the locking schedule. These buildings are listed on the website in the Exceptions list. (Please note that Price Science Commons is also included in this list even though it is not listed on the Exceptions list Website.)
- Faculty, staff, and student employees should already have either keys or prox card access to enter buildings during these times.
- Departments have authorized individuals who can request access or request a schedule change during this week before Fall Term. These individuals should contact FASS-IT to make these requests. (See below.)
- No changes will be made to regular individual access, so anyone with existing access will still be able to access their normal locations.
Once again, the summer building locking schedule for locking most buildings changes to the regular school building schedule on Monday, September 30th at 7:00 A.M.
Authorized individuals may request exceptions to the locking procedure by meeting specific criteria listed in the procedure. Requests for exceptions can be submitted to FASS IT by calling 541-346-2245 or by emailing fass@uoregon.edu, providing as much advance notice as possible, and noting which exception criteria their situation(s) meets. FASS-IT will consult with UOPD for approval of exemptions.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you experience a problem. My email address is: carl.peaster@uopd.org
Please note that some issues have previously been pointed out and should have been corrected; however, there may still be some gaps in this process as the “Summer into Fall” schedule works a little different than our Winter or Spring break schedules.
Thank you for your assistance in constantly helping to improve this process!
