Card Access / Labs / Door Codes / Student Lounges

Some rooms in the EV building require card access, while others use door codes.

How to Get Your Access Card

To get access to rooms in the EV building, you need an access card. Visit the Hall Building Protection and Prevention Desk (H-118), which is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Bring your Concordia student ID.

You’ll appear in their system 48 hours after registering in your program. Once confirmed, staff will take your photo and give you a programmed access card. The card is free as the department covers the cost.

If your card is lost or damaged, Campus Safety and Prevention Services may charge a replacement fee.

What You Can Access by Default

Registered undergraduate and graduate students automatically receive access to a selection of teaching labs.

Additional Room Access (by request through your supervisor)

Office space

If you’re a thesis student, you may request office space (a shared desk, chair and drawer). For full details, including eligibility and how to apply, visit the Graduate Lab Seating page.

Additional rooms can also be added to your card later, at your supervisor’s request. There is no fee to reprogram your card.

Research labs

For access to research labs (some rooms require special training or certification), your supervisor should contact one of the following Engineers-in-Residence:

• Min Ning – Building and Environmental students
  

• Vito Aloisio – Civil students
  

Card updates take effect 48 hours after the request is processed. If your access still isn’t working after that time, please contact the Department Administrator.

Terms of Use

Your access card is the property of Concordia University Campus Safety and Prevention Services. It is non-transferable and must be used only by the cardholder.

If your card is lost or stolen, report it immediately by calling 514-848-2424 ext. 3717 and notifying your Department Administrator. University staff may ask to see or collect your card at any time.
