Access Services (Keys and CMU ID Card Access)

The SCS Building Facilities group manages all initiatives and issues pertaining to the physical spaces occupied by the School of Computer Science. 

Key distribution and tracking

Keys are available in GHC 4107, email building@cs.cmu.edu for an appointment.  Valid ID (CMU ID preferable) is required. There are certain labs in SCS that handle their own key distribution.  If you need a key for a lab, we suggest you verify with the lab owner/personnel first.

If you are locked out of your office after-hours, CMU Police can provide access. They can be reached at 412-268-2323.

Access card administration

Your CMU ID card will open the exterior doors of most CMU buildings after regular business hours and on weekends and holidays.  However, you may also require access to departmental corridors on certain floors within SCS buildings.  You can stop by our office (GHC 4107) or submit a request to get those access privileges. We will need your name, Andrew ID and the numbers from your CMU ID Card.

If you need a new CMU ID Card, they are issued by Computing Services. Please visit their webpage for more information.
