Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Facilities is working closely with the MIT Director 
of Public Safety as well as the Cambridge Postmaster to ensure that 
safety precautions are taken in the delivery of Institute mail.

In addition, the Department has implemented significant measures 
within MIT Mail Services to address the safe delivery of packages on 
campus.  Since the incidents of September 11, 2001 we have retrained 
all mail and shipping/receiving staff in identifying suspicious 
packages and letters.  Mail workers are securing all DMCs and we ask 
that you check to make sure that the doors are secured when you 
leave.  For your convenience, we are leaving rubber gloves in the 
DMCs.

In addition to mail initiatives, the Department is working with all 
construction contractors to heighten security measures.  One action 
we are enforcing in order to maintain a safe environment is to secure 
access to buildings on campus including mechanical rooms, crawl 
spaces and roofs.  If you have any questions in regard to these 
measures, please contact securespace@mit.edu.

Regards,
Jim Wallace
Director of Operations
MIT Department of Facilities
