Requesting Building Access

The FBRI controls building access through a combination of cards / badges, and 2-factor fingerprint scanning for access to secured areas. 

If you need access to the building, card readers, or fingerprint scanners, have your Lab Manager, PI, or supervisor visit this page to access the Online Access Form to submit a request for a proximity card.  

If you are a new member of the FBRI, please make sure you have already fulfilled all HR requirements before requesting access.  If you are needing fingerprint access, we will schedule a time to capture your fingerprint and any other required information.
 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a member of a lab or department, your building access request(s) should be submitted by a supervisor in that area.

ALSO NOTE: Carilion Clinic maintains and administers our badges and access so your request may take a few days to complete. 

Please see the reminders below regarding FBRI (and Carilion) proximity cards:

• Cards should be assigned only to individuals (with the exception of guest badges, see below).
• Each individual should have only one card in their possession.  Additional cards should be returned to IT, HR, or FBRI Reception.  
• Cards should not be shared or lent to anyone.  
• If a card is lost you should: 
  • Report it to the FBRI Help Center (https://help.vtc.vt.edu) as soon as it is determined missing.  We will disable it and request a new one for you. 
  • Visit the FBRI reception team to sign for a temporary guest badge. 
  • If you find your original card after being issued a replacement, return the found card to IT, HR, or FBRI Reception and they will deliver it to IT.
• The same above applies if you find a stray card.
• When someone leaves the institute:
  • Ensure HR is aware of their departure.  
  • Complete an access request form to notify IT the person has left, or will be leaving on xx/xx day. 
  • Return the proximity card to IT, HR, or FBRI Reception. 
  • Cards should not be passed on to another employee or new hire. 
• Guest Badges:
  • Are available for sign-out from FBRI Reception. 
  • Are available for guests and for temporary use while replacement cards are being issued. 
  • If a guest badge is lost, it should be reported via the FBRI Help Center (https://help.vtc.vt.edu) as soon as it is determined missing.  
  • If a vendor or guest does not return the card, it should be reported via the FBRI Help Center (https://help.vtc.vt.edu).
