Subject: Security System
As many of you have noticed the security system is not working at this time, we are aware of this problem and are awaiting repair parts to correct the issue.
In response, the outer doors are unlocked and you will not need to use your badge until we are repaired. Later this evening we will be falling back to keyed door locks for the evening.
If you are going out the front door, you will need to use the handle to get out the exterior doors after 5 PM.
Thank you for your patients,
