Security of and Access to Campus Facilities

State Tech is an open campus, but due to the small nature of the campus, visitors are typically noticed by faculty, staff and students. There is one entrance to campus and all traffic enters and exits at this location. Two buildings, the Information Technology Center and the Activity Center, have front desk staff that monitor those that enter and leave the buildings via the doors by the front desk. An electronic lock system has been installed in all buildings on campus. Each building has doors that are open to the public during regular business hours each day. The Director of Facilities has programmed the doors to open and lock on a schedule each day. All other doors are locked 24 hours a day. The Director of Facilities and Maintenance Staff are in charge with maintaining a program of crime deterrent activities, including a review of all campus entry/exit points, locks, and individual window and door security devices, including alarm systems. The Maintenance Staff reviews campus lighting at regular intervals. Campus security cameras are in place, actively recording activities, both indoors and outdoors, and are on at all times. Residence Halls are locked at all times and only students living in the hall have access to that hallway. The Resident Manager and Resident Assistants monitor each of the nine residence halls as well as the commons area. Security cameras are also in place in and around housing. The President’s House entrance is prohibited to the public and can only be used during special events or incases of emergencies.
