ۿ۴ýUniversity has completed installation of badge-activated automated entry arms at three university gates and other security adjustments. This means that visitors are welcome and can achieve access through the found on the university’s home page.
Starting Monday, March 3, Brimmer Gate, Lincoln Gate and the Franklin Road Gate will be open with specific badge assignments for entry. Despite the badge access, all campus registered vehicles must display the new university tags introduced last fall to enter campus. All traffic will be able to use any gate for exiting.
Visitors are still required to access the visitor’s center for a temporary pass and then enter campus through the Lincoln gate. They can complete the in advance to save time.
“I promised in November that this campus would provide the safety and security our ۿ۴ý and parents expect,” said Dr. Mark A. Brown, President and CEO. “Controlling entry access to the campus is just one step in our full plan.”
Badge access installation is being expanded to include all buildings on campus based on the assigned role for staff or residence hall for ۿ۴ý. The recently renovated Olivia Davidson Hall has card-key access and cameras on each door. Lewis Adams Hall is also card-key access with cameras installed, which will allow remote monitoring as well. This is the standard now being applied to all living areas.
Students have also seen improved lighting on campus. While temporary lights were placed on campus, the university has partnered with Alabama Power to assist in improving the existing service grid and energy upgrades to light areas that had been dark.
“Driving through the campus now, you are able to see lights on the baseball field, overflow parking, the tennis courts and larger dark areas on campus,” said Dr. Brown. “We will continue to work with our vendors and Alabama Power to provide additional permanent lighting throughout the campus.”
Additional projects are underway with completion dates set for later this spring. This is #theTuskegeeWay!
