Access to College Buildings

Dear Faculty and Staff,

We have received questions about access to campus buildings following Wednesday’s “workplace” memo requiring employees who are able to work remotely to do so. Faculty and staff should not come back to campus or to their office buildings unless they have a need to briefly return to gather materials or to prepare for remote learning activities. Staff who are considered “essential” employees with an on-campus role can and should be on campus.

Most buildings will be locked and accessible only by those who are authorized to be in them—which includes, for the time being, those who have offices in those buildings. This is how we will provide access to campus buildings going forward:

Buildings that require a key to enter:

• Faculty and staff with keys will continue to have access to their building and office
• If you do not have a key, please submit a Facilities Services work order using this on-line form

Card-access buildings:

• Faculty and staff who have offices in a building on the card-access system have permission on their ID card to enter their building. Here is the list of card-access buildings
• If you have any questions about your ID card, please contact Public Safety at publicsafety@middlebury.edu or 802-443-5133

Thank you,

Elizabeth J. Burchard

Director of Public Safety and Associate Dean of the College
