Getting there
This rather noisy outdoor plaza can be found on the western corner of 1st and Howard Street. Although the indoor lobby is decoratively furnished, it is not included as a part of the space provided for the public.

     
 

Surveillance & Gatekeepers
Surveillance cameras are on all 3 corners of the building facade from 1st and Howard. The security at the front desk has full view of the space through glass walls. Be prepared to be watched by the cameras, the security, and the many cars roaring by.

     
 

Local Dress & Behavior
Any type of recreational type of use may seem awkward to others as well as yourself due to the high traffic and uncomfortable openness of the space. Many use this area for temporary activities such as cell phone use and smoking. Business casual to street casual clothing is accepted in this space since it is along the street.
