The Guardian Building Telegraph The Guardian Building Telegraph Get Ready… For Fall In Detroit June 30th 2020 Issue 30 Updated Building Policies & Information The Guardian Building management team would like to welcome back those of you returning to your offices! Here are a few updated policies that have been put in place to ensure the health and safety of yourself and others: • Face masks are required in all common areas of the building, including but not limited to the main lobby, elevator lobbies, elevators and bathrooms. • Floor signage has been installed in the main lobby, as well as all elevators. We ask that you kindly follow the signage to promote social distancing, which includes having no more than four people per elevator, at one time. • To reduce the risk of transferring germs, please use your knuckle to press the elevator buttons, instead of your fingertips. • Essential employee letters and tenant health screenings are no longer required for building entry. Questions or concerns? Please contact the management office at (313) 963-4567 or email [email protected]. First Street Parking Deck Updates Effective July 1st First Street Parking Deck will have revised hours from 6:00am—6:00pm. This will not affect your ability to enter or exit the garage. Concrete repair work will be ongoing at the garage through August. Please make sure you are being mindful of signage where there is work being performed and note that there may be times during construction that loud noises will occur. In addition, the shuttle service will continue to be suspended until further notice. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Page 2 Guardian Building Management Hours In observance of the upcoming holiday, the 4th of July, the Guardian Building management office will be closed Friday, July 3rd. Additionally, there will be no building services on Friday, July 3rd. Normal hours and building services will resume Monday, July 6th. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! The Guardian Store Re-opening We are happy to announce that the Guardian Store, located in the main lobby of the Guardian Building, has re-opened. The store hours are Monday through Friday from 7am—2pm Be sure to stop by and pick up your favorite treats and drinks! Go Green with Paperless Statements Today! When running a business, you are probably looking for every possible way to streamline operations, cut costs, and save precious time. What better way than to go paperless, whenever you can! The Guardian Building management team would like to extend the offer to receive your monthly billing statements via email in place of receiving a paper copy in the mail. Not only does this save you time and money, it helps with reducing clutter and is a more environmentally friendly option for receiving important information.

  • MDOT-Woodward Avenue Light Rail Transit Project FEIS Section 106
    Guardian Building National Historic Landmark (See Map Attachment D; see Figures 48-49) The Guardian Building National Historic Landmark is a monolithic forty-story, ceramic tile and brick-clad, steel-frame, skyscraper; it is an excellent example of the Art Deco style and is richly embellished with ornament indicative of that style. The property was listed in the NRHP under Criterion C as a significant example of Art Deco and skyscraper architecture designed by architect Wirt C. Rowland of the architectural firm Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Near the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, project implementation under Design Option 2 would include installation of guideway alignments in Congress Street’s southernmost lane 15 feet north of the property and in Larned Street’s southernmost lane approximately 40 feet south of the property. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignments. No physical impacts to the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark would occur; no project activity is proposed within the property’s NRHP boundary. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur. Although the proposed guideway alignment and OCS would be visible from some portions of the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, these facilities represent a minor alteration to the property’s visual urban setting. No historic views to or from the building would be obscured. Because no views would be obscured, no visual effects to the property were identified. Furthermore, based on current information, no auditory, vibratory, or atmospheric impacts were identified for these properties.
