Starting Monday, July 19, Facilities Management Building Hour Change Form is migrating to EMS Web App. Please use the Event Management Systems webpage to schedule exterior building hour changes due to events or core hours changing. If you schedule a space through the Registrar's Office, GBPAC, Dome/McLeod/West Gym, Recreation Center or Office of Event Services (Maucker Union, Lang Hall Auditorium, Seerley Hall Great Reading Room/Gilchrist Hall), the exterior doors will be automatically scheduled to be open. All other events will need to complete a Building Hour Change Event Request through EMS Web App to have exterior doors unlocked. For EMS Web App questions or login issues, please call Bryan Beardsley at 3-2256. For general questions, please call Beth Rozendaal 3-2648.
