Air Conditioning

Uptown Centre has state of the art building systems including a four pipe fan coil air conditioning system, the "Cadillac" of HVAC systems. The system offers simultaneous cooling and heating capabilities with a constant supply of fresh air to the floors. Temperature zoning is extremely flexibile with the ability to provide a total of 20 room sensors on each floor. Room sensors also allow individual occupants to request additional heating and cooling in 30 minute intervals after regular business hours.

Security

The building is fully wired with a state of the art security and access control system. Access is entirely electronically controlled and video cameras are stationed at key points throughout the building. Tenant's staff members can be provided with access cards that provide 24 hour access to their premises through card readers installed in the elevators, parkade, main entrance and various other building areas. On-site security guards also patrol the building several times a day for an added security presence. During hours that the building is not open to the public, the systems are monitored and mobile security vehicles can respond to incidences within 15 minutes as necessary.

Elevators

Uptown Centre is equipped with two state of the art traction passenger elevators that provide access from the parkade to the fourth floor. Rides are smooth, comfortable, and extremely fast. The elevators are also finished with high-end finishes including stainless steel, ceramic floors, mirrors, and a sandblasted glass feature wall. Travel times and wait times are extremely short.

Lighting

All office floors are equipped with recessed energy efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures complete with deep cell parabolic lenses. Deep cell parabolic lenses direct the light down and reduce glare off computer monitors. All offices and meeting rooms are also individually switched for optimum light control.

Telecommunications

Currently, Telus and Shaw Cable offer Internet and telecommunications services within the building. Telus has installed a fibre optic connection to the building and Uptown Centre is located adjacent to the Telus central office, which allows for maximum bandwidth. Allstream (formerly AT&T Canada) and Microcell also operate switch centres in the immediate area for additional connectivity if required.
