Although safety and security are everyone’s responsibility, the building also provides security services 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.  The level of staffing can vary throughout the day so it’s always best to practice the following security tips:

• Awareness – always be mindful of your surroundings, and if YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. Be prepared to call 911 if necessary, and alert building security at (312) 751-3695 Reporting Emergencies (medical, fire, security) – dial 911 first, then alert building Security at (312) 751-3695. Provide your name, company name, nature of emergency, and appropriate building address (172 E. Chestnut for office building-related emergencies)
• Emergency Plan – familiarize yourself with the building and workplace’s emergency plan and evacuation routes
• Valuables – be sure to always keep your valuables secured or locked away when separating from them
• Door Security – ensure your office space door is locked
• Buddy System – if possible, coordinate with a co-worker to work together after hours. Inform a family member, friend, or security if you plan to work late and alone
