Student Building Access
Student activities are restricted to the laboratory, classrooms, student kitchen and restrooms. If for any reason the student needs access to other parts of the building, please see the Instructor. If the student needs to set up a meeting with a member of the Kawasaki staff, please have the Instructor set up the meeting so it does not conflict with the classroom or lab instruction.
