Physics Department Key Distribution and Roof Access

Please fill out a request ticket to request a key maintained by the Physics Department or roof access to the Physics Building.
Physics Key & Roof Request Form

Only Faculty and Staff can request keys.
If any student (graduate and undergraduate) needs to request keys or roof access, please have a faculty member submit a request on their behalf.

The key holder is now responsible for their assigned key. Do not exchange or transfer keys.
If a key is lost, stolen, broken, etc. the key holder should email the Lab Specialist immediately.


If Physics Building roof access is requested, you will also need to sign up for a Roof Training Appointment. Anyone who requests roof access is required to go through roof training for the Physics Building.

Roof Training will not take place when there is a storm. If a storm coincides with your appointment, the Lab Specialist will work with you to reschedule for a clear date.


When a key holder no longer needs their assigned key(s), please follow these steps in the Main Office (PHYS Rm 220):

  1. Place the key(s) in an envelope. (Small envelopes are provided next to the key return box).
  2. Write the key holder’s name clearly on the front.
  3. Place the envelope into the black “Key Return” box on the middle desk in the Main Office.
  4. Email the Lab Specialist to confirm that the key(s) have been returned.

If there are any questions or you need clarification, please contact the Physics Department Lab Specialist: Colleen Russell c203@umbc.edu
