An Important Update on Building Access for the Spring
As a result of the de-densified campus this spring, a limited number of buildings will be unlocked during the spring semester starting Monday, Feb. 1.
Certain buildings that host face-to-face instruction and research will be unlocked during weekdays, as well as buildings with in-person support functions. All other buildings will remain locked. However, any UMass employee with existing UCard or key access to buildings will continue to have the same access.
Refer to this map and a related list of campus buildings for their status.
Faculty members planning to access campus buildings to deliver remote instruction, who don’t currently have the appropriate access for the building and room, should complete the appropriate form below.
- For metal key requests, go to the online Facilities & Campus Services Metal Key Request Form.
- For UCard access requests, go to the online Facilities & Campus Services Card Access Request Form.
Cleaning of Buildings
Facilities supervisors will be touring all buildings to review and audit levels of cleaning and disinfecting. Building occupants who have questions can contact the Facilities Solutions Center 24 hours per day at 413-545-6401, or work with their building coordinator or facilities customer service representative. For further details about cleaning protocols for unlocked buildings, locked buildings and research-active buildings, read this summary.
These procedures have been implemented to prevent unauthorized access and to ensure the safety of university staff and property, and will be in place until further notice. Stay updated on the latest guidance and news by visiting the campus reopening website at umass.edu/spring.
