Security and Access Codes
Service Hours are 1:00pm to 3:00pm daily.
Keys and access codes are assigned in our office, usually by Facilities Assistants. Faculty and staff will be assigned keys and codes that provide access to their areas of work and study, including exterior doors, offices, labs and the mailroom. Certain master keys require approval from the Dean of Engineering.

Authorizations must be sent via email to our ticketing system email address in advance of the student's need. They should state the student's name, the room(s) to be accessed and the estimated duration of that assignment. Students obtain keys and codes in person. Students must have identification.
E2 Access Cards

All authorizations must be sent via email to our ticketing system email address in advance and the email must include the reason why they need the card, what areas the holder needs to access, and an end date.
There is no deposit required for assignment of keys, omni codes, or access cards. The omni codes operate the keypad locks found on computing and instructional lab doors. Omni codes are reviewed quarterly and unauthorized codes are deleted quickly and regularly.

New furniture purchases require a long lead-time, as much as 12 weeks, for delivery. As soon as you recognize the need for new furniture contact us to begin the ordering process. Baskin SoE has developed a standard range of components and colors for furniture. We can select from this standard and assist you wherever possible.

In advance of your move we will visit with you to discuss your needs and expectations.

We have developed an information form to help you prepare for the move, and we provide tags for tagging your items. We will bring these things to you upon request. We will provide boxes.
