- Visitors: Technicians, delivery persons and repair services can come on campus and into the buildings. However, their visits need to be coordinated with someone in the lab and that person needs to escort the visitor. Because the elevators are locked down with restricted access someone that is allowed to be there has to accompany the visitor so that they can get up to the lab. They still need sign into the lab for contract tracing purposes.
