Building access, keys and hours
UW building access is controlled through the Campus Automated Access Management System (CAAMS) as well as individual locks, keys and access cards. Exterior doors for some buildings are also locked and unlocked manually according to the specific open hours of the building.
Common requests:
- If you are locked out of your building and need one-time access, contact your Building Coordinator.
- The UW Police Department may be able to assist in certain urgent circumstances. Please contact the UWPD through their non-emergency number to see if they can asisst: 206-685-UWPD (8973).
- If you want to make changes to a building’s access hours, see the Changes to building hours service option below.
