Bicycle Rack
Security personnel maintain a bicycle rack inside the gate at Campus Road and East 27th Street during the hours that the campus is open. The enclosure may be used by students and faculty and staff members upon presentation of a valid Brooklyn College photo ID card. There are also two racks outside Ingersoll Hall on Bedford Avenue, but this location is not manned by security personnel. Bicycles must be properly secured to the rack by sturdy chains or locks. Overnight storage of bicycles is not permitted.
Photo Identification
All students and members of the faculty and staff are requested to carry a Brooklyn College photo ID card on campus and are required to wear it on campus when the college is closed. The card must be displayed in order to gain access to the campus, the library, and the Student Center. Photo ID services, located at the Enrollment Services Center, are available Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday until 1 p.m.; and for extended periods during registration.
Students who wish to enter or remain on campus after it is closed must obtain written permission from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs or have a 24-hour photo ID card.
