What does this mean when I come to Columbia Plaza?
As a public place of business, we will comply with the Ordinance and require all individuals who enter the building to wear face coverings. Please make sure your teams, guests, and any visitors are prepared to bring face coverings to be worn in the building common areas.
Here to Help
We have a limited supply of face masks and can provide them on a one-time basis for those who forget to bring one, but we don’t have enough to supply everyone ever day.
· Need Help finding a supply of masks for your staff? Give us a call and we can help put you in contact with a distributor.
· Make your own. The CDC has several easy to follow guides on how to make your own face covering Here
For your Peace of Mind: Food delivery drop off in Main Lobby
We will be setting up a food delivery station in the Front Main Lobby near the health screening station beginning July 8. This allows for all food deliveries to be dropped in one convenient location for you to pick up, reducing the amount of visitor exposure to tenant areas and elevators.
Please inform food couriers to deliver the food to the table and call you when it has arrived. Unless previously approved, food couriers will not be permitted to deliver to building floors.
