Building access for visitors
A web-based facility has been developed which allows employees in the Office of the President to inform the Lobby Reception Desk of expected visitors to the Franklin Building prior to their scheduled arrival. Building Guests and Visitors who are scheduled in this manner are not required to sign in, and are more efficiently welcomed and directed to their meeting destination.

Building Systems and Maintenance


Heating/air conditioning
The building's temperature control system has been designed with your comfort in mind. To ensure consistent and pleasant temperatures and to eliminate hot and cold spots, each floor is divided into 30 zones, each with its own thermostat.

The thermostats have been set in accordance with energy conservation guidelines. Please do not adjust them yourself.


Lighting
The building's lighting system provides the latest in convenience and energy efficiency. Motion sensors in the rooms and halls automatically turn lights on when you enter and turn them off during periods of inactivity. There is no need for you to turn lighting on and off in your work areas. Of course, you can turn the lights in offices and conference rooms on and off manually, thus overriding the automatic sensors.


Recycling
All building waste will automatically go to the recycler for sorting, regardless of whether it is put in a special bin. However, food, food wrappers, and other wet waste should be placed in the plastic-lined containers that are located in the kitchens, copy rooms, and elsewhere in the building. These items are not recyclable.

Copier fluid, ink cartridges, batteries, and correction fluid products should be placed in receptacles marked "Items Needing Special Handling," which are found in copy rooms. These items, which are not permitted in the normal refuse system, are disposed of through a licensed disposal company. If you see that these receptacles are becoming full, please call the Reception Desk at 7-0600 or e-mail Franklinservices@ucop.edu.


Reporting problems
Report any of the following problems to the Reception Desk at 7-0600 or Franklinservices@ucop.edu.

  • Spills and other custodial problems
  • Lighting problems or failure of the automatic sensing device
  • Heating/cooling problems
  • Damaged or inoperable window blinds

Report telephone malfunctions to 7-0017.

Building maintenance, including custodial and building mechanical system operation, has been contracted out to La Salle Partners. La Salle will have staff available during normal business hours to respond to maintenance requests from the Reception Desk.
