Building Procedures

Building Access Cards

Tenants must utilize their access badge to access the building, including after-hours, on weekends and on building observed holidays. To request an access badge, please contact your Facilities or Human Resource Department.

Tenants are responsible for pre-registering visitors. Once the visitor has been entered in MyKastle, lobby security has the ability to check them in and will provide a visitor pass to your guest/visitor. Recurring visitors can scan in using our driver’s license identification check-in located at the main lobby desks.

These guest passes are valid for one day only. Please reference MyKastle section of this handbook.

Locks/Keys

All locks must be compatible with the building standard for access in an emergency. If additional locks, bolts, or other mechanical security systems are required on doors, the Office of the Building will be happy to coordinate their installation. Building Management is to be provided with keys or combinations to all such systems.

Janitorial & Maintenance Services

Standard general office cleaning and periodic perimeter window washing are provided Monday through Friday, except on building observed holidays. Should you have cleaning or trash removal needs beyond the ordinary levels of service, the Office of the Building will be happy to help you coordinate these services. Rubbish or discarded equipment must not be stored in elevator lobbies, corridors or stairwells for even short periods of time. Doing so is a violation of fire codes and building rules and regulations.

Although most services are scheduled for evening and night hours, a small cleaning crew is available during the day to maintain common areas and restrooms. The day time cleaning crew can be available to empty garbage, vacuum, and perform small clean up jobs upon request. These tasks are requested through the Angus System by authorized tenant contacts. The Office of the Building will be happy to assist with any unplanned maintenance needs that may arise.

The Office of the Building and Cleaning Supervisor regularly inspect the premises to ensure a high quality of maintenance. However, should a cleaning related issue arise, please contact the Office of the Building.

Deliveries

General deliveries are accepted during regular business hours Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Any delivery requiring more than 2 trips up or down the freight elevator or requiring more than 30 minutes on the dock must be coordinated in advance with the Office of the Building to secure a loading dock and freight elevator reservation.

Passenger elevators are designed solely for transporting building tenants and their guests to and from their offices. For this reason, all deliveries - other than small, hand carried objects - are restricted to the loading dock and freight elevator of the building. Individual food deliveries may be made through the main lobby.

Building regulations prohibit all deliveries and inter-floor activities on passenger elevators that require the use of hand-trucks, two or four-wheeled carts, as well as movement of bulky objects regardless of how they are carried.
