Dear Cronkhite Residents,
I'm writing to update you about some changes to building access in the interests of
safety for both students and College Admissions, Financial Aid, and Student Employment
staff.
Starting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 26,
* The inner door in the vestibule area will be locked at all times and only
accessible to the Harvard community via HUID swipe.
o Undergraduates will have the ability to swipe anytime, similar to the other swipe
points in Cronkhite already.
o The outermost door on Brattle Street will continue to remain unlocked.
* Visitors to Admissions and Financial Aid (FAO) will have to request access to
the building and the office through the new buzzer/doorbell camera in the front vestibule,
which was installed over the winter break.
o This system is ONLY for Admissions, Financial Aid, and Student Employment office
use.
o It has no recording attached; it simply allows Admissions and Financial Aid staff to
view who is in the vestibule asking for entrance into the building and the office.
o
We anticipate that these changes may cause some confusion at first. In order to minimize
that, we want to remind you of the following.
* Package delivery: You must use your assigned campus mailbox address. Do NOT have
packages delivered to the street address. This ensures that your packages will arrive
safely and in a timely manner.
* Food delivery: Please make sure you pick up your delivery promptly to avoid any
concerns about accessible pathways, rodents/pests, or unsanitary health concerns.
o Shelving has been added to the vestibule for these deliveries.
* Student building and room lockouts: If you need assistance getting into
Cronkhite and/or your dorm room, please contact Securitas (617) 496-9370. (The Admissions,
Financial Aid, and Student Employment Office is unable to assist with this.)
If you lock yourself out of your room:
8am - 4pm: Call Securitas (617-496-9370) and someone will be dispatched to help you
4pm - 8am: see the Security Guard in the office near the elevators
TUTORS WILL NOT HAVE SPARE KEYS.
Lost keys - if you have misplaced or lost your key and need a new one, please see your
respective Building Manager in their office during office hours (8am-4pm, M-F).
Thank you very much for your help in keeping our Cronkhite community safe, healthy and
happy!
Manny, Mike, Mario,
