Handbook

General Access

Building hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. All lobby doors are open at this time. After- hours, weekend and holiday access requires Access Card programmed to grant access into the Building after hours and to your particular floor in the Building. (The card also includes access to the garage for monthly parkers.) Card readers are at the side door next to the main lobby door on Library Lane or at the 9th Street entrance, in two passenger elevators in each elevator bank and in the freight elevator. The elevator system is in secured mode after hours. The Access Card will enable an authorized person to travel to the floor where his/her offices are located and from that floor to the main lobby only. After-hours access to the Building for those persons without computer entry cards shall be made by contacting the security guard who will verify the name of the person entering against the names on the One-Time Specific Request For After-Hours Access list for your firm. Upon verification, the security guard will give them access to the lobby and the elevator by use of a master security card. Anyone leaving the Building after hours will be requested to sign out. See the section on Security for additional information on the Key Access Card.

 

Access Card Control System Instructions

A.) For Ground Floor Entry to the Building & Entry to All Call Elevators for Access to Office Floors:

  • One reader is located at east lobby entry door and one at west lobby entry door and the elevator readers are located inside the elevator cabs at the west end of each elevator bank and also in the freight elevator.
  • For all readers in both the garage and the building, simply hold the key card in front of the reader, within 5-7”.
  • When the card has been properly read, the light on the reader will illuminate a steady green. At this time, you have 10 seconds to enter/exit through the lobby door, or if using an elevator, to depress your floor button. Please note that when using the elevator, only the button for the floor(s) to which you have authorized access will operate or light. If the light stays red, try Steps 1 and 2 again.
  • If longer than 10 seconds has elapsed between the time you activated your card and opened the lobby door or pushed the elevator floor selection button, your call will be canceled; try Steps 1 through 3 again.
  • If your card is invalid, the yellow light will show.

B.) To Call Elevator for Exiting or Accessing another Floor after Hours

  • Push the elevator call “DOWN” button on your floor lobby.
  • When the elevator arrives you have two options.
  • You may push the Lobby button in the elevator cab with no use of your key card and the elevator will return to the ground floor.
  • If you wish to access another floor, and are authorized to do so, follow steps in section A. and depress desired floor button when the reader illuminates steady green light. NOTE: If your card is not authorized for access to a particular floor, the floor button will not stay lighted and access will be denied.
