 Calit2 Community,

It has been brought to my attention that a group of students has been propping open the Calit2 main atrium entrance doors after-hours and using the patio as a dance rehearsal space. The door has been found propped open all night through to the morning. Use of the Calit2 patio for any unauthorized activity is strictly prohibited. UCIPD has been notified and will be patrolling the area. If you find any object propping open the Calit2 main lobby atrium door or any other secure area door after-hours, please remove the object and feel free to notify me either by email or calling my extension 824-4488.

Thanks for your assistance.

Gregory E Gallardo
Director of Facilities, Calit2
