If you rely on contractors, visitors, or site occupants who have gate passes or temporary photo badges expiring in 2019, Security encourages you to process their renewal before Friday, Dec. 20, 2019. You can exchange old passes/badges for 2020 versions starting Monday, Dec. 9. Starting the process early will help avoid site-access delays.
Security encourages large groups to call the Argonne Information Center, Building 224, at ext. 2-5755 to schedule a convenient time to exchange expiring passes/badges. You must return expiring photo badges to receive new ones.
Please ensure all temporary appointments have been renewed through Human Resource Services as necessary.
Reminder: Per LMS-POL-67 Visitor Site Access Approval, Security may not approve long-term or night/weekend access if the laboratory’s and visitor’s purpose can be accomplished with several shorter-term passes.
