Dear University of Auckland,

For this year, the Building 507 Park Road Entrance has been converted into an "access-controlled door", which has not been the case since B507 was opened in 2020.

Please provide, to the extent possible, any information relating to:

1. When the changes occurred, and whether any prior notice was provided to stakeholders (e.g. students, staff)

2. The rationale behind restricting access through this entrance, including any accessibility or risk assessments

3. The rationale behind leaving the Park Avenue Entrance as "open entry" to anyone in the general public

4. The categories of individuals granted access through the door, including whether students may have been considered as potential users with access via their campus cards

5. Any internal or external communications, discussions, or documentation regarding this change. If no feedback or discussions with stakeholders (e.g. students, staff) have occurred, please confirm that no such records exist

6. Any policies, guidelines or procedures that govern the decisions made to modify/restrict access to University buildings and specific entrances

Yours faithfully,

JH
