Security changes at MAIS
University staff visiting Michigan Administrative Information Services (MAIS) will encounter changes in building security. New security measures have been implemented to make it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to enter MAIS facilities. There is no longer direct access to MAIS offices from the south entrance (Kipke Dr.) to the Administrative Services Building (ASB). Greene Street is the preferred entrance to MAIS. MAIS staff request that visitors stop by the front desk in room 2019 ASB to obtain an identification badge before visiting MAIS staff or attending a meeting in ASB or the Boyer Building. Visitors can access offices and conference rooms on the the first and third floors of ASB from the central hallway.
