Building Management

A Health Sciences or the William H Foege bulding organizational unit provides HS Building Management with the names of staff/faculty who will be their Building Access Coordinators (BAC). The BACs are then authorized to order building keys, photo ID badges, and access cards. The number of BACs from an organizational unit depends on its size and location(s). Normally no more than three individuals are authorized from a unit, although there are exceptions.
