Building Access Policy

Policy

Public Safety should be notified immediately at ext. 3333 if you become aware of any threat to persons or property. Crime prevention in college buildings and grounds is a shared community responsibility, and all efforts in this regard are coordinated and facilitated through Public Safety.

Non-residential buildings are cleared and locked at regularly scheduled times by a building monitor or a Public Safety Officer. Supervised access to buildings after-hours will be provided by the Public Safety office pending receipt of proper identification and authorization. Academic buildings are cleared and closed after 11:00 p.m. Woods-Penniman remains open 24 hours a day.

Public Safety is the point-of-contact for all campus key access. Requests for keys may be made to Public Safety at keyrequests@berea.edu.

-During the COVID-19 pandemic, all academic and administrative buildings are accessible by Berea College affiliated personnel only.  Student and Staff/Faculty ID’s are to be worn at all times, and these allow access to these buildings during business/building specific hours.
