If you have been authorized by a faculty or staff member to receive a "proximity ID card", then you should see Ben Fest if you need it activated. He will make a copy of your school ID and ask for your EID. You may be asked to justify your need to have a proximity card. Also, be prepared to supply him with a faculty or staff contact who can vouch for your need to be in the building after hours.
Winship has two entrances that can be accessed at any time of day or night with your proximity card. These are the east entrance – the one that overlooks the creek next to San Jacinto Blvd, and the south main entrance - the far right door when facing the building from the outside. You must swipe your ID in front of the reader and it will make an audible beep to indicate that you can enter the building.
Proximity card issuance is limited to those people who have a legitimate need to have all hours access to the building. Generally speaking, faculty, staff, and certain graduate students are issued proximity cards as needed.
