Booking Spaces for Faculty

The schedules for classrooms and production spaces in the Shaffer Art Building are public and accessible on the Facilities Hours page here.

**Note as of Fall 2023, all Cage requests must come through Orange Tracker - ot.syr.edu > CAGEHELP-1667. We can no longer service walk-in requests**

SWIPE ACCESS REQUESTS

Swipe access requests for inner doors should be sent to Orange Tracker (CAGEHELP-1667) with the following information: 

•  

  • The name of the person who needs swipe access 

  • The person’s SUID# 

  • Their position at the school 

  • The reason they need swipe access 

  • The duration of the access needed 

Swipe access requests need a minimum of 48 hours advance notice. For PTIs, TAs, and IAs, swipe access must be resubmitted every semester. Other restrictions may apply. For instance, swipe access will not be granted to the photo area except to faculty and TAs teaching in those spaces. Outer door swipe access is granted by the front office.
