Beginning this week, Hutchinson Hall will be locked after 5pm Monday
through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday in an effort to address
ongoing problems with non-UW persons roaming the hallways and using the
design lab and showers in the building. Drama students can enter the
building using their Husky cards in the outdoor card swipes. Since the
Library is open from 5-7 Monday through Thursday and Sunday, 1-5, there
is a sign on the middle Stevens Way side door, closest to the library
(where the book drop is located), directing other patrons to call the
Drama Library for access after 5:00 during the weekdays and all
afternoon Sunday. Alternately, people needing entrance to the library
can go around the building to the Accessible entrance in the back and
ring the doorbell. The change is not meant to be permanent; the School
of Drama will reassess the situation after a month to see if the change
in opening hours has resulted in discouraging transients from
frequenting the building. At that time, if the problem has ceased, the
building hours will be realigned with the Drama Library hours.
