Site Access Management System

Building & Room Access

Berkeley Lab uses keys or the electronic Access Control System for building or room access. The access control system is used for exterior perimeter doors to most buildings, as well as some individual labs, offices, and equipment. Access is linked to the Berkeley Lab HR System and is updated with the employee or affiliate’s current appointment status. If a staff member’s appointment end date has expired, their access will be suspended.
