After Your Event
The tenant must remove all materials and items brought into the room by the tenant. Landlord is not responsible for any items placed within this facility prior to, during, or following an event.
The room should be left in a clean condition with trash placed in receptacles. Any excessive cleaning or repairs necessary to accommodate the next tenant will be billed back to the responsible tenant.
The building ownership provides a smoke-free environment for its tenants and its visitors.
Smoking is permitted only in the designated area on the second level of the parking ramp.
Smoking (including e-cigarettes), candles, incense and open flames are not permitted in any portion of the building. This includes but is not limited to restrooms, hallways, elevators, stairwells, executive parking garage, loading dock area, and inside tenant suites. In addition, smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of the building’s entrances.
Smoking policy and enforcement are sensitive issues for everyone. We are requesting each tenant’s assistance in informing your employees, contractors, and visitors of the smoking policy and require them to respectfully dispose of their cigarette butts in the proper ash tray provided in lieu of landscape areas (i.e. plant beds or flowerpots), sidewalks, or the parking lot as this creates potential fire hazard and unclean appearance. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation with this request.
If you experience a problem within your suite that requires maintenance assistance and/or repair, please have your representative use the online tenant request system or call the Management Office at (952) 838-3730.
- Provide representative name, company name, and suite number.
- Describe the problem as accurately possible.
The Management Office will address the problem as soon as possible, sending someone to assist you or making whatever other arrangements are necessary. If the repair or maintenance work is not the landlord’s responsibility, then the customer will be charged for such work at landlord’s cost plus appropriate mark-up. Please make your service request directly to the Management Office. Maintenance personnel are required to receive instructions and assignments from the Management Office only. This procedure helps the Management Office keep track of your requests and ensure that they are resolved in a timely fashion.
Keys
New tenants receive 2 keys per lock set. You can purchase additional keys from the Management Office. Requests for lock work, except for desks and filing cabinets, should be made to the Management Office. Alterations to locks can be made only with approval from the Management Office. If you need to activate or deactivate a keycard, please contact the Management Office.

Normal operating hours for the building are:
Monday – Friday: 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Saturday: 8:00 AM -1:00 PM
Sunday and Holidays: Closed
After-hours and weekend access to the building is limited to the glass front doors that open onto the second floor main lobby (skyway level). Anyone entering the building during after business hours will need an access card and is also required to sign in and out at the security desk. Elevators will operate only with proper access cards.
Please provide the Management Office with a list of the names and home phone numbers of at least three individuals who may be called to authorize admittance of an employee into the building without an access card. These individuals would also be contacted in the event of an emergency.
Tenant employees and guests or service employees must be provided with a key to office areas by the tenant. Tenants can request additional keys from the Management Office for a small fee.
Tenants locked out of their space after hours will only be allowed access if the tenant’s emergency contact authorizes such action.
Suite entrances are unlocked during regular business hours. Although we try to maintain a secure working environment, many people enter the building every day, and we cannot guarantee complete safety. You can take several preventive measures to keep your area more secure. For example:
- Lock all doors when leaving your suite unattended.
- Instruct employees to keep valuables in secured areas (locked desks, file cabinets or closets) when leaving them unattended.
- Always keep safes, vaults, strongboxes or similar devices locked, particularly when unattended. Do not divulge combinations of safes or vaults. Do not leave combinations where they can be found or easily deciphered.
- Notify the Management Office if you see loiterers, peddlers or canvassers on the premises.
- Record serial numbers of all valuable office equipment. If anything is stolen or missing, a record of serial numbers will aid in the recovery of the items.
- Check wastebaskets at the end of the day to ensure that no items of value have been left there.
After normal business hours, please make sure that all entry doors to your suite are locked. It is also a good practice to keep all entrance doors other than the main entrance to your suite locked at all times.
Do not allow anyone to follow you into the building after business hours. Anyone authorized to enter the building after normal business hours will do so without problems. If you encounter someone having problems gaining entrance into the building, do not let them in. Instead, contact the management office at 952-838-3730 or security at 612-232-7844 for appropriate assistance.
The Management Office recommends that you keep all personal valuables locked up. Although the security staff patrols the building throughout the day and night, we cannot guarantee the safety of unsecured valuables or personal items.
The security personnel will accompany anyone requesting an escort to their car in the parking ramp and will remain until the car has started. Call security at 952-232-7844.
Canvassing, soliciting, peddling and loitering are not allowed within the building. If you are approached by a solicitor of any kind, or if you observe an individual engaged in such activities, contact the Management Office immediately.
Any suspicious activities should be reported immediately to the Management Office during regular working hours or the security desk after building hours. Security personnel are generally powerless to assist or take police action in criminal matters in a tenant space. During business hours, management personnel will escort the police officers directly to your suite.
