A Building Access Coordinator (BAC) is a designated person in a department or unit who is authorized to request new building access, access badges, and keys. BACs play an essential role in keeping our facilities secure.
Departments may designate anyone within their unit to be a BAC. BACs are responsible for managing access for their department and are expected to be aware of departmental operations.
To register or update BACs for your department, please fill out a new Building Access Coordinator Authorization form and send it to HS Building Management.
Access Badges and Building Access
HS Building Management controls all access badges and card access for the Health Sciences facilities. BACs are responsible for requesting Husky Card access, access badges, and photo IDs on behalf of their units.
BACs may request access for their department only. If access is needed to a space that does not belong to your department, please contact the department that owns the space for authorization.
BACs can submit requests for extra access through our website. For more information about access badges and photo IDs, visit our Access Badges & Photo IDs.
Keys
HS Building Management controls all keying for Health Sciences facilities. Building keys are distributed to individual units through BACs. BACs are responsible for ordering new keys, tracking existing keys, and requesting rekeys on behalf of their units.

Key Procedures
BACs may order new keys for their department only. If a department needs a key that does not belong to its departmental key series, the department that owns the key series must give their approval for the order.
BACs (or someone designated by a BAC) must pick up ordered keys from T283. Keys are not delivered to rooms or sent by mail.
Each department must have a process for issuing keys as personnel change. BACs should facilitate this process and keep a log of all keys that are in circulation within their department. BACs must track how many keys a department has, which keys are issued out, and which keys open which rooms.
BACs are responsible for maintaining their department’s stock of keys. Any keys which are not issued to personnel should be kept in a secure location. Keys that are not needed can be returned to HS Building Management for recycling.
BACs may be asked to send their key tracking records to HS Building Management for verification. HS Building Management has keying records and a list of all issued keys for Health Sciences spaces. BACs may request a copy of these records from HS Building Management.
BACs must confirm or approve all rekey requests on behalf of their department. HS Building Management will contact the BAC of a space after the rekey order is received.
BACs should update their keying records once a room is rekeyed. They should also request and track any new keys which are needed following a rekey.
For more information about rekeying a space, please review the Keys page.
