As part of the Morris University Center renovation to Starbucks this summer, two new video surveillance cameras are scheduled to be installed on the Edwardsville campus. 

One camera will be installed that will cover the point of sale area and another will be installed near the exterior door.

The new equipment will be used by Campus Police to protect employees and guests and reduce the risk of criminal activity. The cameras currently installed don’t provide full coverage of the retail area.

The cameras are meant to enhance the overall safety and security on campus. In accordance with Section II (F) of the University’s Video Surveillance Policy, Vice Chancellor for Administration Rich Walker has approved the installation of the additional security equipment.
