Art Sculpture Lab Key Issue

Students currently enrolled in Art Studio classes are encouraged to get a key or fob to grant access to the studio facilities and resources, as well as to keep students safe during open lab hours, especially after hours. Students may only be issued keys if their faculty has requested their access.

If approved for a key or fob by your faculty:

  1. Wait for your faculty to give you your Key Request Form.
  2. Visit Facilities Management to pick up your keys or fob. The office is located at the front of campus, along the J street side of campus off Bay Laurel Way, behind the Athletics Center. Review the Student Key Issue Policy before you visit and be ready to show your OneCard in order to receive your key or fob.
  3. Return the key or fob to Facilities Management on or before the expiration date listed on the key issue request form at the end of the semester/year.
