Facilities Liaisons:
The purpose of this email is to share details of the door lock procedure for the Thanksgiving academic break schedule for 2024. This procedure is designed to protect against theft and vandalism while also providing access to specific public facing buildings on the UO’s campuses, as follows:
-
- Most university building doors will be locked during observed holidays and academic breaks (including Thanksgiving Break 2024) as defined below.
- Some buildings with public facing services may not be subject to the locking schedule, especially during this academic break. These buildings are listed on the website in the Exceptions list.
-
-
- 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 for those who may need it for the Break period.
- No changes will be made to regular individual access, so anyone with existing access will still be able to access their normal locations.
-
Please note that during the Thanksgiving Break period (i.e., closing time on Wednesday, November 27th until Monday, December 2nd at 7:00 A.M.) most buildings on campus will be closed and locked.
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 the Campus Vulnerability Assessment Team on approval of exemptions.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My email address is: carl.peaster@uopd.org
Thank you!
