This listing on the enterphone must be requested, we do not place tenants on it automatically. To be listed simply determine the phone number you wish to be connected to (do not use a line which will be call-forwarded after hours and do use a phone that can be heard and answered by those in the office) contact our office and provide the number and we will do the rest.

Lighting:
There is no computerized lighting control system in this building. Lights are turned off at night by our cleaning staff and/or security.
In our ongoing effort to save energy, we ask that you please have the last staff member to leave your offices turn off the lights. Corridor lights can be turned off via the switch in the hallway. It is especially important for those working on the weekends to turn off the lights when they leave.
We also encourage you to consider installing separate light switches for rooms that are not frequently used. These lights could then be turned off when rooms are not in use.
Telecommunications:
The building has been wired with a fibre optic network. This service is provided by Telus, AT & T Communications, Metro Bridge Networks Corporation and Bell Canada.
The installation of any new telephone and data communications systems must have prior approval of the Landlord. Once you have obtained approval, should you wish to proceed with the installation, please ensure that your contractor arranges for access to building equipment with our operations staff in advance. Access to the telephone and electrical rooms without prior arrangements cannot be provided.
