As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance campus safety and emergency preparedness, UNLV is installing automatic door-locking systems in buildings across our campuses. The project is taking place in phases. Phase 1, which included installing approximately 200 automatic lock buttons near entry doors in select classrooms and labs, concluded in August 2025. The second and final phase is currently underway. It includes installing more than 200 additional automatic lock buttons near entry doors in select classrooms and class labs.
