Visitors to the Vivarium
Hours of Operation
12 Hour Rule
Investigators who would like to bring visitors into the vivarium MUST notify AVS in advance for approval. AVS Operations Manager shall be contacted via email at dtaleric@hawaii.edu and provided the name of the Investigator, the names of the visitors, the date(s) they will be coming, and the name of their escort. In the event that the Operations Manager can not be reached, the AVS Veterinarian shall be contacted at wongmich@hawaii.edu. AVS will provide an outline of entry procedures to the escort to be shared with the visitor. A list of cleared visitors will be provided to the security desk so that they may be made aware that the visitors are coming. The guest must be signed in at security with the name of the escort listed as well, regardless of whether or not the guest has a JABSOM building access card or not. If the visitor is being escorted by LAS, prior notification is not required, however, the guest must still be signed in.
Contractors that require short term access to the vivarium must also be cleared by AVS by following the same procedures described above. In addition, they must also schedule a brief orientation with the veterinary staff (See Kaka’ako Contractor and Guest Orientation).
