facilities are by their nature very open environments. This makes
them a security nightmare, since it immediately reduces the
effectiveness of a key security component: access control.

Guidelines:Follow CPTED principlesControl access where possible and
to the most critical areasInvolve students in crime preventionRaise
safety awareness among ALL campus users, including faculty/
