While recent Safety Updates have primarily focused on the Exchange District Campus (EDC), our comprehensive safety strategy extends across all campuses, with a focus on creating a secure and welcoming environment for everyone.  

For this month’s update, we are sharing reminders about safety at the Notre Dame Campus (NDC) and enhancements underway on campus. 

Ongoing Safety Enhancements

Currently there’s a CCTV and security infrastructure upgrade underway at NDC which includes enhancements to cameras, alarm systems, and electronic door access. These upgrades will take place over the next two years, supporting improved surveillance capabilities and increased security effectiveness. 

In addition to updates at NDC, this past fall enhancements were made to CCTV and surveillance systems at the Portage La Prairie and Winkler Campuses.  

Safety Reminders

Accessing Campus

Security Services at NDC is located on the main floor (Plaza Level) of C Building. See campus map for reference. Contractors and visitors must sign in with security upon arrival. 

All campus doors are locked after 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and locked all day on weekends at both EDC and NDC. To access NDC after hours or on weekends, use the east entrance of C Building.  

Staff and students should have their College ID cards on hand at all times, for swipe card access spaces and accessing facilities such as the gym at NDC.
