CAAMS
The Campus Automated Access Management system (CAAMS) is a computer controlled system for locking and unlocking doors.
Perimeter Doors
Building Management has control of exterior doors for Health Sciences / Foege, hallway security doors, and other selected interior doors. These doors are usually open during the normal work week. Access cards are programmed to allow access through these doors after hours, weekends, and holidays.
Departmental Doors
Some departments control their own doors to sensitive areas or areas with high use rate. CAAMS departmental doors are usually kept locked. Access cards can be programmed for entrance through these doors.
Alarms
CAAMS doors should not be opened with a key. They are alarmed, and the UW Police Department is alerted.
