A NEW UPDATE: Card Swipe only has now been implemented per the plan below for the Ground and 4th floors. Floors 1, 2, and 3 will continue to be available without card swipe until issues related to building & egress codes can be resolved. A temporary sign has been posted in the elevator. Official signs informing patrons that the elevator is for staff use only are forthcoming.

Now that most of the contractors have completed their work in the building, it is time to put our staff elevator on card swipe only. This change should eliminate most (or even all?) of the problems we have been experiencing with patrons getting stuck in staff hallways. I am heading out to test the new set up right now, and if everything works as expected, the staff elevator will henceforth be available by card swipe only. Library staff, custodians, and contractors will have access to all floors (G, 1, 2, 3, & 4). Advising/Tutoring staff will have access to floors 1, 2, & 3. Walker, CAIT, and English Faculty will have access to floors 1, 2, & 4.
I will also post a sign in the elevator about the change.
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues. -Andrea
