1. Executive Summary: It is the responsibility of faculty and staff to ensure that locks to offices, office suites, labs, classrooms, and any space within the college that houses college equipment and assets are secured. Locking doors when areas are unoccupied is paramount to the overall security of the College. The purpose of this Key Policy is to ensure the appropriate management and control of mechanical keys. Over the years, mechanical keys have been poorly managed allowing unauthorized access to Georgia Tech resources.

Security is a primary concern in the College of Computing and the use of the Mechanical key sets represent a significant responsibility. In order to assist with daily operations of the College, TSO has made copies of mechanical keys available for check-out via a Security Asset Manager Key Box located in 144A of CCB and 1108 of KACB for the respective residents. These keys allow access to different rooms within the buildings based on job function and need. If a key is lost or stolen it compromises the security of the building.
