7. Important Berkeley Way West (BWW) Reminders:

• It is critical that everyone accessing the building after hours or entering key-carded areas of the building be sure to tag (use key card) to access these spaces for themselves, when at Berkeley Way West. This especially applies after hours and at all times to any floors and interior spaces that require key card access.
• Those with key card access are not permitted to allow others into these secured spaces (tail-gating) for any reason and will lose after-hours access to BWW if they are found breaking this policy.
• BWW recently sustained extensive damage in January due to a breach of this policy. Your adherence to this policy will contribute to our community safety and security.
