FS-01.03 – Exterior Building Door Securement – Physical Door Locks

Effective: January 01, 2026 | Last Revised: March 01, 2026

Purpose
To maintain campus safety and security by ensuring consistent and controlled access to university buildings outside normal operating hours.

Policy Statement
The Facilities Services Custodial Maintenance team is responsible for securing exterior doors on all university buildings that do not have electronic access control. Doors are locked at designated times, Monday through Friday, typically around 10:00 p.m., unless academic schedules or special programming require extended access.

Implementation
Departments that need exterior doors on buildings without electronic access control to remain unlocked beyond the standard closing time must submit a request in advance through the online work order system. Approval will depend on operational feasibility and campus security requirements. Custodial Maintenance staff will coordinate the corresponding door‑locking and unlocking schedules.
