Russ Berrie Building Turnstile Installation Begins Jan. 30

Beginning on Thursday, January 30, we will be installing new turnstiles in the main lobby of the Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion. During the installation, building occupants and visitors will still be able to enter and exit as usual.

  • Once the turnstiles are operational, all staff will be required to swipe in using a valid CUID that grants them access to the building. If your ID is expired or does not currently provide access to Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion, please contact your department administrator as soon as possible to avoid entry issues.
  • Additionally, the current practice of notifying Public Safety in advance for guests, visitors, and patients remains unchanged.
  • For questions about ID access, please visit the CUIMC ID Office, located in Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons Building, Room 1-405C,or call 212-305-0238.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Jerry Wang, senior project manager, at lw3005@cumc.columbia.edu.
