Building Access
  • Access: The building is open from 7am to 7pm, Monday through Friday, and is locked at all other times including University holidays.
  • After Hours:
    • Those authorized to use the E-Quad Building after hours are:
      • Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty, staff, researchers and graduate students.
      • Undergraduate electrical and computer engineering majors.
      • Others having authorization to use academic facilities inside the building.
    • You may request after hours TigerCard access for the exterior doors using After-Hours Building Access Request Form. Only those listed below will be granted access. The TigerCard office automatically grants access to all Electrical and Computer Engineering undergraduate and graduate students upon arrival. Access is deactivated over the summer and anyone on campus will need to submit SALTO Lock Request Form for reactivation.
  • SALTO Access:  The undergraduate laboratory may be accessed via the SALTO lock.  To request access please submit the SALTO Lock Request Form. We will obtain approval from your PI before processing your request.
Key Policy

Office and lab keys are issued under the agreement that the holder will reimburse the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering $25 upon failure to return any key(s) issued to them. Lost keys will be replaced at a cost of $25 per loss. The replacement fee must be paid in cash or check prior to the key being re-issued. Excessive requests for replacement keys may result in the need to replace the room core or multiple cores. Many department keys have multiple layer access such as unlocking main doors in addition to individual offices. Lost keys compromise the security of the entire building not just the office to which they are issued. The cost of these re-cores will be the responsibility of the key holder. If you need a replacement key or a key to another room, please submit the Key Request Form. We will obtain approval from your PI before processing your request.

Keys are to be returned to ECE Executive Office ([email protected]) prior to your departure from campus. To return keys after hours, complete the after-hours envelope and drop in the after-hours drop box outside of B210.
