The museum has instituted the following protocols to stay consistent with Santa Barbara County and state public health policies:
— All visitors, students, faculty and staff are required to wear face coverings in the museum galleries. Face coverings will be provided to those visitors who do not have one.
— Visitors from outside UCSB, including vendors, consultants and external collaborators, will be required to fill an On Demand Screening Survey on the day of their visit and receive approval before arriving on campus, where they will show clearance badges.
— Visitors affiliated with UCSB (students, faculty, staff) will need to complete a COVID-19 Screening Survey and receive the subsequent approval before arriving on campus.
— The museum´s front desk personnel will ask all visitors (affiliated and non-affiliated) to show their clearance badge from the screening survey.
— Visitors who have not filled their surveys in advance of their arrival on campus will be asked to do so at the museum’s entry. To this end, the museum will provide online access to the screening survey via a tablet that will be disinfected after each use.
— Museum galleries will be cleaned weekly by the university’s Custodial Services.
— Researchers are asked to refer to www.museum.ucsb.edu to request an appointment.
