Tenant Access
Access Control Cards
Access cards for the 2000 West Loop South building and garage are handled exclusively by Datawatch Systems, Inc. Datawatch Systems provides our tenants with direct access to a web-based platform for employee access administration and new access card orders.
Access control cards are for your protection and convenience and are intended to control and restrict access to the building and parking garage. Please note that a building access card is not authorization for building staff to open locked doors - employees must have their own key or contact their appropriate supervisor.
After Hours Procedures
Normal building hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday, 8:00am to 1:00pm. Any other time is considered after hours. After hours entry is possible for authorized employees with the access control card. Tenants must have their access cards and suite keys, as the security officer is not able to open suite doors. Use your access card and swipe it in front of the card reader located by the west entrance door. When the light turns green the door will unlock long enough for you to enter. You must also use your access card to operate the elevator. Swipe the card reader and when the light turns green push the floor button. The elevator will not take you to a floor you do not have authorization for.
If a tenant’s employee is locked out of their suite after regular business hours, they will need to contact a colleague who has the appropriate key or access card to come to the building and provide access. In the event of an emergency where a colleague is not available to assist, a building engineer will verify with the Tenant Contact that access can be provided for the employee and then be dispatched to provide access. Please note that this service will incur a charge of $200 to cover 2 hours of overtime and travel time. This fee will be included on the tenant’s next rent statement. We strongly encourage all tenants to ensure that employees carry their suite key and access card when in the building after hours to avoid delays and additional charges.
Tenant Vendors
All vendors entering the building to perform services within your leased space, making large deliveries to or picking up large deliveries from the building must have a certificate of insurance on file with the Management Office. Please note that vendors with out a certificate of insurance will not be allowed access to the building.
Should you anticipate a large or lengthy delivery, please schedule it through the Management Office. Arrangements can then be made for delivery before 7:00 am or after 6:00 pm on Weekdays, and any time on Weekends, via the building’s loading dock. Deliveries may not be made in the circular drive via the building’s front entrance. Occasionally a large, single item (i.e., desk, file cabinet) may be delivered during the week between the hours of 9:00am and 11:00am or 2:00pm and 4:00pm. These deliveries are allowed at the discretion of the property manager. Dollies are not permitted in the lobby unless they have rubber wheels. Mail carts must use the padded elevators unless the carts are properly padded to prevent damage to the passenger elevators.
The Management Office cannot accept or assume responsibility for supplies or furniture that is delivered to the building, nor can they grant access to your leased space. Please make the appropriate arrangements for the receipt and storage of any materials shipped to the building and the oversight of work being performed within your office.
