Contractor Keys
Building keys are available to be signed out on a day-to-day basis from the Facilities Services Grand Rapids and Regional Centers department, located at 350 Bicycle Factory (201 Front Ave. SW). Keys can be picked up/dropped off during normal office hours.
Contractors may also sign Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences (CHS) and Raleigh J. Finkelstein Hall (RFH) keys out from the Facilities Services desk in the lobby on the main floor of CHS at 301 Michigan NE. Same rules apply for sign-out and use.
Please be prepared to let us know who your GVSU contact is that has coordinated your work. If we are not aware of the work we will need to confirm the work with your contact before issuing keys.
Parking Permits
If your vehicle does not have a company logo, you will need to obtain a vendor parking permit from the Grand Valley Security office, located on the 1st floor of the Eberhard Center (301 West Fulton) or if going to CHS/DCIH or RFH, you may obtain a permit from the officer at the lobby front desk. Please be prepared to show a valid driver's license and also to provide your license plate number from your vehicle.
Please park in designated service vehicle parking spots whenever possible. Be aware that if you do not get a permit for your marked company vehicle and no service vehicle parking spots are available, it is likely that you may get ticketed by Grand Valley Parking Services.
Parking in loading docks is not permitted beyond a 15 minute loading/unloading time.
Parking permits are valuable, please lock your vehicle.
