Executive Summary: It is the responsibility of faculty and staff to ensure that locks to offices, office suites, labs, classrooms, and any space within the college that houses college equipment and assets are secured. Locking doors when areas are unoccupied is paramount to the overall security of the College. The purpose of this Key Policy is to ensure the appropriate management and control of mechanical keys. Over the years, mechanical keys have been poorly managed allowing unauthorized access to Georgia Tech resources.
