SECURITY AND KEYS
KEYS

You check out office, elevator, and building keys from Jenny Cantor, room 5217 McGill Hall. Faculty and administrative staff do not pay a deposit for their first set of keys. All other personnel pay a $5 key deposit for interior door keys and $20 for a building or elevator key. Your deposit is refunded when the keys are returned to the department. Deposits are forfeit when keys are lost. A new deposit must be paid before new keys are issued. Keys are the property of the University and must be returned upon departure.

Persons needing temporary access to a room should see Jenny Cantor.

Clamshell locking devices fit over doorknobs and provide additional security.  They are available in the main office at the front desk. Faculty are responsible for the keys to the clams that secure their space.  The department must have a copy of the clam shell key for access in case of an emergency.

SECURITY

McGill Hall is open to the public from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. We strongly recommend that you lock your office door every time you leave your office, even if you only intend to be away for a few minutes. Never prop open a stairwell door when the building is closed.

ALARM SYSTEMS

Several areas of the department are equipped with alarm systems, which are set nights and weekends. The keypads used to arm and disarm the alarm systems are located inside the entrance doors to these areas. If you are permitted access to one or more of these areas, the staff will instruct you how to operate the system.
