Following the recommendation of the Estate and Facilities Management Division at the UoB the department management has decided that the doors of the laboratories will be locked. You will need a key card and code to get in. The purpose is to make it more difficult for unauthorized persons to gain access to our premises.The doors currently require card and code in the period 4 pm- 8 am on weekdays. From now on an access card is always needed to gain access to the laboratories. The contact person for each floor have been asked to lock the doors as of Monday 11 April. Thank you for your understanding.
