The installation of card access readers on campus buildings
continues on schedule this week with the outfitting of
the psychology clinic (611 Cross), the Coatings Research
Institute and Starkweather.
There are now 10 buildings on campus using the new access
system. They are Boone, Roosevelt, Alexander, Quirk, Pray-Harrold,

SAY CHEESE: Matthew Polenychko, a student
employee in the Eagle Card office, gets ready to
snap
a photo of Pauline Banks, VISION office secretary,
for
her Eagle Card ID. EMU faculty and staff are
reminded
to get their Eagle Card as soon as possible.
When card
access readers are installed and activated
on campus
buildings,
EMU employees will need their Eagle Cards
to access
campus buildings after hours. Currently,
there
are 10 buildings using the new access system. |
Thirteen building administrators have been trained in
the use of the new system and 11 more will be trained March
9. The administrators notify department heads and deans
by e-mail when their card access program is activated and
are responsible for programming authorized ID cards for
after hours' access.
EMU's Department of Public Safety and ICT are continuing
to work on implementing the emergency assistance stations.
The campus community will be notified when the stations
are operational.
Keeping you and EMU safe
Being alert to your surroundings can help ward off potential
danger. The following tip can apply to whether you live
in an apartment, house or residence hall room:
If you see signs of a break-in at your home, such as a
smashed window or an open door, do not go in because an
intruder may be inside or lurking in the area. Go immediately
to a neighbor's home or a nearby business and call the
police.
Editor's Note: For those who may have been away during
the winter break, the following is the Feb. 27 campus update
that was provided to campus.
Building access update
The physical plant continues to make progress with the
installation of the new card access system.
Plant staff will install the access system in Welch, McKenny
Union and Pease Auditorium this week. Once these are completed,
there will be 21 buildings outfitted with the new system.
The access system is now activated in three buildings
— Briggs, Sherzer and Quirk — and Roosevelt's
system was activated Feb. 27. Keys formerly
used to access exterior doors in these buildings will no
longer work. Keys will still work on interior doors.
Building administrators will notify department heads and
deans by e-mail when their card access program is activated.
Deans and department heads will then notify faculty and
staff. The building administrator is responsible for programming
authorized ID cards for after hours' access.
Once activated, only authorized faculty and staff, using
their Eagle Card faculty/staff ID, will be able to enter
these buildings after hours and on weekends. Students can
use their Eagle OneCard I.D. for access if a faculty or
department sponsor and the building administrator have
authorized it.
If you have any questions about the new system, please
contact your building administrator or call DPS at 487-1222.
