Carnegie Late Night!
On Sunday, March 13th 2016, the Carnegie Library Learning Center quietly began card swipe access to the lower level after regular business hours for CPH graduate and Medical Partnership students, from 10pm on Sundays to midnight on Thursdays. In the interest of your safety and security, there are a few things we ask you to always bear in mind:
1) There will be no Library staff on site, and while there are surveillance cameras, they will not be constantly monitored after 10pm. We highly encourage using the “buddy system” after hours.
2) If the entry doors are left propped open they will cause a silent alarm to alert UGA Police, who will come to check the building. PLEASE make sure the door closes behind you!
3) CPH graduate students and Medical Partnership students ONLY are approved for after-hours entry. Be sure to keep your student ID on your person at all times, even if you just step outside for a moment. If someone asks you to let them in the building, assume that they’re not approved for access.
4) Be alert and trust your instincts….if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t! Don’t hesitate to call UGA Police Dispatch (706-542-2200) for non-emergencies, or 911 for emergencies.
5) To report maintenance problems after hours, please call HSC Facilities Management’s on-call number (706-614-4832); if by chance you can’t reach them, use the UGA Police number above.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CLLC Coordinator Scott Blackwell at 706-713-2724, or via email at sblackwe@uga.edu. And don’t forget to check our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ugacarnegielibrary) for news and updates!
