Building management

Access/Properties/Parking areas.
All FHML and FPN buildings are freely accessible to students, staff and visitors during regular opening hours. In addition, a personal UMcard allows use of all facilities.

Some buildings are classified as 24-hour buildings due to day-to-day activities. Access to these 24-hour buildings, outside regular opening hours, can be requested by means of a UMcard form signed by the department chairman, after which building management will assess this request.
 

Opening hours
Through this link you can find the current opening hours per building. 
Only visible for employees.

Adjusted opening hours may apply during holidays.


UMcard
The UMcard is Maastricht University's (UM) smart card for students, employees, visitors and contractors. It is the official proof of identity within UM. The card allows access to university buildings, parking lots, rooms and facilities.

The UMcard also serves as a means of payment for various facilities within Maastricht University. Think of the drinking and copying facilities etc. 
The UMcard is also used for identification purposes, such as access to testing locations and borrowing books.
To request or change a UMcard , please contact the UMcard department of Facility Service: umcard@maastrichtuniversity.nl.


24/7 access
Employees with an active salary payment/appointment may be granted access, through a statement from the department chair, to the 24-hour building in which they work, outside regular business hours. The department chairperson must sign the UMcard application form. You can request the UMcard application form at umcard@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

Students, trainees and guests are not entitled to access to the premises outside regular opening hours. 


Parking
Five parking lots are available within the UM Randwyck campus. Depending on the workplace, and any restrictive regulations such as the bicycle plan, one may be granted access to these lots. The rules regarding parking are laid down in the UM parking policy.

UM is not liable for any damage to property in bicycle parking area(s) or parking lot(s).
 

Bikes
Within the UM Randwyck campus there are facilities for parking bicycles: outdoor, covered or covered behind lock. Everyone is required to park their bicycles in the facilities provided. The receptions of the buildings may, upon payment of a deposit, provide employees with a key to the locked covered parking facilities.
Employees with a UM appointment have 24/7 access to the UNS40's locked bicycle basement via UMcard.

UM is not liable for any theft or damage to property in bicycle storage(s) or parking lot(s).


Activities and events
In addition to regular educational activities, activities are regularly organized. These may include small get-togethers or meetings but also large events with large numbers of participants.

Each event must be requested from Servicepoint (FS) servicepoint-fs@maastrichtuniversity.nl after which it will be assessed. Criteria that are evaluated include safety, emergency response organization (ERO/BHV), nuisance and facility issues. Building management thinks with the applicant to make activities possible without disturbing education and research. The maxim is: education takes precedence at all times. 

Applications are assessed for a relationship with Education and Research at FHML and FPN. On this basis, conditions will be set and any room rent will be charged. These requests will also be assessed to see if they can make use of the existing ERO organization.

Spaces for events and evening activities in relation to ERO
Based on the FAFS organization and the available facilities within UM Campus Randwyck, it has been decided to allocate the spaces within UNS40 and UNS50 for organizing activities outside regular opening hours. Because of the opening of the University Library (UB) until 22:00 hours, the reception service in these premises has already been filled.

The reception service plays a crucial role in the safe opening of premises where the reception service staffs the Fire Alarm Installation (BMI) and can alert in case of emergencies.

In buildings UNS40 and UNS50, the spaces below are allocated for organizing activities outside regular office hours. These spaces are centrally located, near the reception and parking facilities.

If several events take place at the same time, UM makes the rule that the event that is initiated first is entitled to the available and already present emergency response organization. Should there be any emergency response capacity left, the second event may also be assessed to use the available emergency response organization. The deployment of own employees with a valid UM emergency response certificate, trained in the relevant premises is possible. Should the size of the emergency response team not be able to carry the event, additional emergency response team must be hired. Any additional costs will be borne by the event organizer. 


Missing, found objects and theft
Found objects can be handed in at the reception desk of the respective building. These are then collected and registered at the reception desk UNS60 where they can be reported. Provided certain conditions are met, the items will be returned to their rightful owner. 

In case of theft, it is recommended to report it to Servicepoint-FS: servicepoint-fs@maastrichtuniversity.nl


Lactation/resting rooms
Almost all FHML and FPN buildings have a lactation/resting room.
This is where people can pump or retire for a while in the context of special physical problems.
Please inquire with the reception services about the possibilities and availability of the room and also the possibilities for breastfeeding storage. 


Newsletter
A monthly newsletter is used to share relevant topics related to the operations, access and maintenance of the FHML, and FPN properties. The newsletter is sent to all department chairs and armicos with the request to share it within the unit.
