The Vice President for Research (VPR) research facilities house specialized laboratories, research equipment, and other controlled-access spaces. To help ensure the safety and security of personnel, research activities, and university resources, access to these facilities is restricted to authorized individuals.

The VPR Research Facility Access Request Form is used to request access to the following buildings:

• Science and Engineering Building (SEB) labs and upper floors
• Harry Reid Research Center (HRC)
• Campus Lab Building 3 (CLB3)
• Advanced Laboratory Building (ALB)

Access requests may include building access, specific laboratory or room access, proximity cards, hard keys, or furniture keys, depending on the request and operational needs. All requests require approval from the Principal Investigator (PI), who confirms that the requester has completed the appropriate safety training and is authorized for the requested access.
