Building access and information

These hours also apply to all study areas and computer labs.

You will need your activated Campus Card to enter and exit the buildings outside these hours.

Security officers will do a security sweep at 11:45 pm on all days to remind students that they have to vacate the building by midnight.

Restricted access hours: Midnight - 6 am. Activated Campus Cards will not open any internal or external doors after midnight.
 

After-hours activation:

• To gain access to the building after hours or to a specific lab as required, you must activate your Campus Card by submitting this online application form.

Note: Your Campus Card access number can be found in the bottom right corner on the back of the card.

• Once you have submitted the request, it can take up to two weeks before your Campus Card is activated.

• If you require assistance, take your Campus Card to the reception desk at the Engineering building, 20 Symonds Street.

The passenger lifts will be operational for students from:

• 7:30 am - 5:30 pm for all levels in 401-405 from Monday to Friday.

Access to laboratories after hours is strictly by authorisation of individual departments and must meet our guidelines and considerations.

Workshops and laboratories require specific risk assessments due to the nature of higher-risk activities that may be undertaken. Such risk assessments must meet the conditions of Workshop Safety Guidelines and the HASNO Exempt Laboratory requirements to allow approval for after-hours access.

A laboratory manager or a nominated person in charge must be present at all times when laboratory work is undertaken. This is to ensure the safety of users when undertaking activities that have increased potential risk, and to have:

- Appropriate emergency response and support available

- Monitored environmental, experiment and equipment operations      

- Confirmation that people are not operating alone and are not fatigued
