Access arrangements

Presenters need a "LEC" key to access cupboards/lecterns containing installed multimedia equipment.

If you need a new "LEC" key, please contact your departmental administration support.

Building supervisors will open these spaces in advance of all classes and events that have been pre-booked in the central timetable system. Campus security will perform this function during weekends and evenings, if classes and events are pre-booked in the central timetable system.

To ensure a safe and secure campus for all, Campus Security and building supervisors will decline to open spaces if there is no booking in the central timetable system.
