Access to Campus Buildings

The Savannah Technical College Police Department is responsible for the overall security of all campus facilities. Buildings may be opened and closed for scheduled events, after normal working hours, with advance notice to the Police Department. Faculty or staff requiring access to any building outside normal working hours must contact the Police Department, in advance, for assistance. Requests for such access are reviewed on a case by case basis. Faculty or staff members having building access codes and entry level keys are authorized to enter buildings, for official purposes, after normal working hours. However, all faculty and staff members are reminded that any College building or grounds are the property of the State of Georgia and are to be used for official purposes only. Savannah Technical College does not have any campus residences on any of our campuses nor does Savannah Technical College offer any off campus housing. Access codes and cyber-keys are issued by the Savannah Technical College Police Department by filling out a form on Sharepoint requesting access. The cyber-key system allows for auditing both real-time and historical. The Savannah Technical College is currently installing the technology infrastructure at all its campuses for keycard access. Police Officers routinely test doors and place work orders for any doors that may not function properly. Security cameras are placed throughout the campus. These cameras are monitored through Police dispatch. Upon Campus closure due to inclement weather all Savannah Technical College employees shall exit the buildings so they may be secured. In certain instances of severe weather that do not require a campus closure, egress from campus buildings will be discouraged, and you may be asked to shelter-in-place.
