GW has contracted an outside organization to provide security for residence halls during inauguration weekend, University officials said.

Allied Barton will provide guards for 25 residence halls across campus. Anyone who enters one of the buildings must first show either a GWorld card or the temporary ID card that will be given to all registered guests.

1480 students had registered guests as of Thursday, and the University has identified another 122 parents who are expected.

“We are aware that there are others who might be coming as well,” said Jeffrey Lenn, associate vice president for Academic Operations and the co-chairman of the Inaugural Response Management Team.
