The maintenance team has been experimenting with durable replacement materials for the atrium handrails. We have found a suitable solution that we will implement over the next 2 months. This new solution will be as maintenance free as possible and will last easily another 10 years.

Please be aware that on Friday 8 November the garage door will be repaired. No vehicles can enter or exit the basement between 10.00 and 12.30.

Despite our best efforts, we have identified that one or more unauthorized individuals have gained access using one of our security tags.

We must take strong measures to ensure the security and safety of our building, your belongings, and your well-being. To determine which tags were used and to disable these, we need to…
Tuesday 5 November from 9 AM until 1 PM the water in the building will be shut off for maintenance on the main water pipes.
Due to a malfunction of the garage door motor, the garage door cannot be closed at this moment. A security guard has been deployed to ensure no unauthorised individuals can enter. The door will be repaired on Monday morning.
