Security

Uniformed security patrol the premises and surrounding area 24/7/365 as part of a customized security system and protocol while optical turnstiles and door entry card access provide a second level of security. Tenants also deploy their own proprietary security systems. Access to all high-security areas, such as the Meet-Me Room and Riser Systems, require a supervisor to monitor all personnel.

 

Electrical

A reliable source of primary power is of paramount importance to Buffett Contact Center 7/24/265 operation — an expensive but necessary venture to secure a reliable power supply from the local substation. In 2001, two new 4000/5000KVA transformers were added to ensure the reliability of Buffett Contact Center power supply. These transformers are fed by dual underground 13.8 Kv feeder lines from the local substation.

 

Cooling

New district cooling provides chilled water to the building according to pre-determined temperature, capacity, and consumption. With our tenants' higher than normal cooling requirements, this ensures a reliable chilled water supply that can easily grow with the building's needs. Many Buffett Contact Center tenants have installed secondary cooling units "Condensers" on the roof area.

Buffett Contact Center owns the street at the back of the property, this refueling trucks and roll-up generators enjoy unrestricted access to ensure their facilities 7/24/365 operation during an emergency.
