Building Access

The building access control system (Lenel S2) is equipped with security features that allow for a safer teaching and learning environment. Classrooms, faculty and administrative offices are located on the second floor of the building, which is accessible through stairways or an elevator. Once on the second floor, a badge is required to enter classrooms if using stairways. The Clinical Simulation and Learning Center (CSLC) is located in Suite 121 on the first floor. While access to faculty and administrative offices is via badges, appointments continue to be required of students and guests prior to accessing this section of the building.

The Library is located on the second floor and is unlocked daily when campus opens by the campus security officer. The Ions Conference Center is a multi-purpose room that is located on the first floor and is often used as a classroom.

Campus security is very important and access control is the line that protects our most important assets: associates and students.

All associates and students must wear and ALWAYS visibly display their identification badges while located on the SCHS campus.

Associates and students shall identify themselves to front desk/security personnel when entering the building as well as faculty, if requested.

Guests must sign in and out at the Security desk. Guests should wait in the Security desk area/lobby for the appropriate functional unit associate to accompany them during their visit.

If you see a new or unfamiliar face around the building, please introduce yourself so that we can get to know one another better.

Do NOT allow anyone to enter the building without observing? Their badge; this allows us to be able to account for everyone in the event of a building emergency. Anyone who does not have their badge with them must sign in at the Security desk.

The purpose of these practices is to enable associates and students to identify one another and allow the SCHS Campus Building Emergency Team to quickly identify unauthorized individuals on the SCHS campus in the event of a critical incident.
