Key control is an important part of WSU Tri-Cities building security. It is imperative that each individual that is entrusted with keys understands the significance and importance of positive key control.
Keys are issued to individual employees based on the needs of their position, and are not transferable. It is each individual’s responsibility to ensure that all WSU Tri-Cities keys remain in their sole possession and are not loaned or given to another individual. Keys will not be issued to individuals without acceptance of this responsibility. Additionally, no key shall be reproduced (copied) by anyone other than the WSU Tri-Cities Facilities Department.
Keys are issued only upon approval by department directors and, where appropriate, confirmation by EHS, Security, Facilities, IT or other departments that conditions to the specific space(s) are met. Keys must be picked up at the Campus Security office when ready, and must be returned to the Security office when no longer needed. Keys can be picked up during campus operating hours in Floyd 269K.
WSU ID must be presented prior to access being issued, and in some cases, that ID may be used as the access card.
