Access to Elings Hall

The doors to Elings Hall are open Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm. Outside of these hours, Access Cards are used to enter the building. MAT students, faculty and staff may obtain access by following the steps below.

Gaining access to Elings Hall is a two step process:

  1. First obtain your UCSB Access ID card at the UCen.

    • MAT will reimburse department members for the purchase of the card. Request reimbursement authorization from Lisa Thwing before purchasing your ID card at the UCEN.
    • Only ID cards obtained after July 2012 are able to be used as building access cards.

  2. Once you have your ID card, have it authorized to access Elings Hall.

    • Use the CNSI online system at www.cnsi.ucsb.edu/facilities/building_services/access to add access to Elings Hall to your ID card. On the Access and Security page, select the link "Access Application".
    • Request External Door access only, unless you have prior permission to gain access to the AlloSphere or a lab from the appropriate faculty.

Getting Keys

Keys to the labs in Elings Hall are issued on an "as needed" basis. If you need a key, the faculty member responsible for the lab should request one on your behalf by sending an email to Lisa Thwing, at lisa (at) mat.ucsb.edu.

Keys are issued by Lisa Thwing in room 3316 in Phelps Hall. If you have any questions, you may contact her at lisa (at) mat.ucsb.edu.

Departmental Mail

Students may pick up mail in the MAT mailroom, room 2603, Elings Hall.

Change of Address

Students who move during the school year or change their phone number must inform the Graduate Program Assistant, and update the information via the GOLD system so a current address and phone number is always on record.
