CAAMS Building Access

Architecture & Gould Halls both utilize the CAAMS monitoring system. Outside building hours, entry is restricted to BE students with CAAMS access. Architecture Hall is limited to students with studios in Architecture Hall or students with ArchNet accounts.

BE students will be programmed into CAAMS each quarter. Should you find that you do not have the access you need, please contact the Building Coordinator in 224 Gould Hall. Access to studios will require the approval of a department advisor. If you lose your Husky Card, notify the Building Coordinator once you have your new card. It typically takes 24 hours for your new card to be operational.

Outside of normal business hours, CAAMS support is available for emergencies only. Please call 206-685-2226 or the University of Washington Police Department phone line at 206-685-8973 (UWPD).


Maintenance

Students should report any maintenance & custodial concerns to their instructor or department who will forward the information to the Building Coordinator. Faculty & staff can directly report all issues to the Building Coordinator. To ensure prompt response, all issues, regardless of room ownership (BE, Classroom Support Services rooms or Architecture Library) may be reported.

If there is an emergency facility or custodial situation after hours please contact UW Facilities directly at 206/685-1411. Custodial Services provides clean-up and restoration in response to emergency situations resulting from fire, flood, or vandalism 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
