Lab Access
At a glance
How to request access to the Autonomy Park and the Indoor Lab. Do the safety training first, or your request is denied.
Complete the Safety Training First
All access requests will be DENIED if you do not first read the Lab Rules, watch the safety video, and pass the quiz.
When Will I Get Access?
Expect one to two weeks. Access moves in two stages. Dr. Kamalapurkar has to approve your request first. Then UF MAE Facilities has to input your door codes.
If it has been more than two weeks, email [email protected]. Every request goes through Dr. Kamalapurkar, and he has to know you, so a lab manager may have forgotten to relay your request to him or to remind him. If that is not the problem, the request is waiting on Facilities. It is usually the former.
