We have an urban student population of about 10,000 students.  We have had
occasional instances of non-university personnel coming in to do
business, church books, random things.  Once we had a guy who came in,
stayed all day, and left the Lab phone # for his business/personal calls, came
back the next day (and several thereafter, till we eventually caught on and
stopped it.

We allow only student/faculty/staff in the lab, and now have them sign
in, and flash the student ID upon entering the lab.  We're probably
going to go to a card entry system, where a card swipe will be necessary
to enter the lab.
