Guest Policy

Due to the sensitive and hazardous nature of the work being conducted at Bakar Labs, tenants need to adhere to our guest policy:

• To host a visitor, please CLICK THIS LINK and fill out the form at least 24 hours in advance. You must submit a separate form for each guest. Guests should enter through the main entrance on 2630 Bancroft Way.  

  • If you will be having many guests for the same meeting and want to avoid filling out a lot of forms, you can also submit a ticket with your guests' names, dates/times of arrival, and their company affiliation, organized as either a spreadsheet or a list.

• On the day of the visit, a pre-printed label for your guest will be ready for you at the front desk for them to wear during their visit.

• Planning for a lab tour. When considering whether it is appropriate to bring guests into open lab spaces use good judgment and keep a community minded orientation.

• Prior to the visit, Consult with your neighboring bench occupants about whether a visit at a given time will be a significant imposition.

• Consider offering a tour during off-peak hours, when there is less lab activity. Limit your lab tour time to the relevant place-based discussion. Non-vendor or investor type conversations should be continued elsewhere.

• No more than three guests in the lab at any given time, as there isn't much space to maneuver. Guests are prohibited from entering the TC rooms at all times.

• Notify your guests of laboratory hazards and offer them appropriate PPE. Minimum PPE required to enter the labs is no skin exposed from the waist down, typically as long pants/skirt, socks, and close-toed shoes. Depending on other work that is happening in the lab at the time of the visit, a lab coat, disposable gloves, and eye protection may also be appropriate. Let your guests know that the tour of the labs will be brief for the reasons described above.

• Regardless of your plan, if you find that the lab is unusually busy or an unforeseen hazard is present, do not bring guests into the lab.

• Photography or other types of recording are not permitted. See our Photography & Videography policy for more details.
  
  

• A guest label (with name, host company or event name, date) is required for every person in the building without a Bakar Labs badge. If you see someone without either of these and they are unfamiliar to you, please let us know ASAP via Slack.
