Podium Keys

You will need a key to open the podium doors to access the cd/dvd/vcr, document camera or microphones. The key will work in all of our classrooms and is yours to keep for as long as you teach here. Please send the key back to us when you retire or leave UW Madison.
These keys do NOT open the room doors or building doors. During normal building hours, the room and building doors should not be locked. We do not have keys to room or building doors – if you need building access contact the department administrator or building manager.
Before requesting a key, please check your key ring to see if you already have a key. The key may have “Y11” or “KV70” stamped on the side, and looks something like this:
