Health Science to require 24-hour swipe access

By: Sydney Umstead, News Editor 

In an email sent out to the Canisius community on April 2, Dr. Bridget Niland, the vice president for academic affairs, announced that as of April 3, the Health Science building will require students and faculty to swipe in 24 hours of the day. Formerly, and for most campus buildings presently, swipe access only required 5 p.m and later. 

Niland wrote that “This move is taking place to ensure a secure working and learning environment while campus and community stakeholders review swipe access for campus buildings.” 

Niland explained that to aid in the transition on April 3, there would be “staff at the Health Science Building tomorrow to ease the transition to 24-hour swipe access.” It is still unclear whether or not this move will be repeated at all buildings on campus in the future.
