Designated Entry and Exit Rules for Reopening

Dear Campus Community,

As part of Canisius’ reopening plan, we have introduced designated entry and exit rules for various doorways in all campus buildings. The doorways are clearly marked and swipe access is required for entry into buildings at appropriate access points. Please note, you are not permitted to swipe into a building if that doorway is designated as an exit, so it is important that you observe the signage. To view a campus map indicating the points of entry, click here: https://www.canisius.edu/sites/default/files/%2A/building_entry_plans.pdf. 

In the event of an emergency, all doors can be used to exit a building. For more information, click on the video above.

Thank you for your time and attention.
