Keyless Entry System

We have recently installed keyless entry locks on the external doors to the Law Building. The east (6th Street), north (Peabody Drive) and south (Pennsylvania Avenue) entrances have all been switched over to this system. As these doors are switched over to the new system, the doors can only be unlocked by swiping your i-Card on the nearby card-reader mechanism mounted on the exterior wall within a few feet of the door. As in the past, these doors will be on a regular schedule for locking and unlocking so you will not need to have your i-Card to use these doors during normal business hours (see below).

If you do not have an i-Card, you will need to get one if you need access to the Law Building outside of normal business hours. Once you have an i-Card, you should notify Debby Fletcher (fletchr2@law.uiuc.edu) so that she can activate your card in the system. Please also contact her if you should have any problems with access to the Law Building.
