Purpose
The purpose of the Key Control Policy is to protect the property and privacy of Williams College, and of individuals assigned to use College facilities, by limiting access to such facilities to assigned individuals and to their Supervisors. Recognition has been given to the fact that Facilities has responsibility for the maintenance of all spaces, including all building systems, and as such, may have a need for access to certain spaces occupied by others. Facilities also has the responsibility to effectively manage and control distribution of keys on campus. Williams College maintains a high security patented keyway for safety and security purposes.
Scope
This policy applies to all Williams College employees, visiting faculty, students, and contractors working for the College. It applies to all facilities owned, leased, or otherwise occupied by Williams College.
Enforcement
The policy and its enforcement are the responsibility of Facilities and are implemented through the Lock Shop with consideration from Campus Safety and Security. All College Faculty, Staff, and Administrators shall ensure that keys are not issued to individuals which would provide access to areas other than those to which the person issued the key would ROUTINELY need access. The Lock Shop shall have the responsibility to ensure that key requests and all appropriate authorizations have been obtained prior to issuing keys. The Lock Shop shall implement and maintain appropriate procedures to ensure that all keys issued are accounted for, and securely deposited in a lock box or Keywatcher unit when not in use.
