Safety at night

The campus is located away from busy residential and social environments and will be largely deserted at night and in the weekends. In order to address the need for safety and security after opening hours, the campus Steering Committee has approved an extra security shell to be added to the periphery of the campus. The extra security shell will not degrade the feel of an open campus during normal business hours. There are four elements to the extra security shell:

• Security cameras form a continuous ring around the campus
• Security cameras and other security installations are continuously monitored
• Access gates which can be closed at night form the entrances to the campus
• An additional deterrent will be placed around the campus consisting of natural barriers such as water and shrubbery, as well as fencing along the west campus boundary.

Opening hours:
The campus is open to public access from 06:30 to 20:30 hours, from Mondays to Fridays. Access times may be altered as deemed necessary.

Security inside buildings

Campus residents are asked to take particular note of the following important security issues.

• Register your visitors in advance (via Campus portal)
• Meet your visitors in the reception area
• Ensure that unknown persons do not enter the building with you
• Ask unknown persons to report to the receptionist
• If you encounter unknown persons in your building, offer your assistance and guide them to their host or to the receptionist
• Ensure that nothing of value is left unattended
• Lock away valuable items such as laptop computers and PDAs
• Report abnormalities to Security (tel. 040-230 5441). The emergency telephone number is 040-230 5444!!
