Access to Campus
Student access to campus begins at the first day of move-in for each semester and ends on the day of move-out for each semester when they are enrolled in coursework at Olin. Similarly, students engaged in research, work, or housing on campus during the summer term can begin to access the campus and its buildings on the first day of summer housing until the last day of summer housing. For access to campus between semesters, students need to seek permission from the appropriate stakeholders prior to accessing spaces.
During the enrolled semesters, students have the following access permissions pre-set on their ID cards:
- Campus Center community spaces 24/7
- Jam Room, CCLL014
- Wellness Room, CC210
- The Common, CC214
- Dining Hall seating areas
- Crescent Rooms, CC209-213
- Miller Academic Center community spaces and classrooms 24/7
- Milas Hall community spaces 24/7
- East and West Halls
- 24/7 building access (limited to full-time residential Olin students)
Access to shop, fabrication, and lab spaces is granted upon completion of appropriate training. Note that shop and lab spaces are closed from 2am to 6am.
For access to additional spaces, staff or faculty with responsibility or authority for a particular space must request access via buildingaccess@olin.edu on students’ behalf. Students should not attempt to access closed or limited access spaces, including mechanical spaces, data closets, offices, and the loading dock.
If a student is visiting campus during a leave of absence, they are considered a guest and should work with their host in acquiring guided access to campus spaces. Upon graduation, student ID cards are deactivated.
