Building Security: Overview
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in
establishing your internal security procedures:
Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
Establish uniform procedures for collecting keys prior to the termination of employees.
Establish a rule that keys must never be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening
cabinets.
Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
Ensure that a responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or one that conforms to
a commercial key control system.
Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
Clear all desks of important papers.
When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
Building Security: Key and Access Cards
As tenants of Pacific Center, you are provided with access cards, which are programmable for access to the
building. It is the tenant’s responsibility to determine the level of access granted to each employee.
Since access cards are used for entry and control of key functions in the building, we suggest that each
tenant place responsibility of assigning, revising, and retrieving access cards to one individual in its
organization. Please complete the Access Card Request Form to request a new access card, make
changes to an existing card or to deactivate a current card. Please note that this form includes an
“ Authorized Signature” block which must be signed and dated by your authorized representative in order
for us to process your request.
Please submit the Access Card Request Form for all employees requiring an access card two weeks prior to
your occupancy. This form will be used by Building Management to encode levels of access for each
employee. Access cards cannot be issued until this form has been submitted. A $15.00* non-refundable
administrative fee will be imposed.
It is also the tenant’s responsibility to ensure access cards are retrieved from terminating employees and
the Management Office is notified. Access cards are not transferable or re-assignable without proper
documentation submitted to the Management Office.

Building Security: Lost & Found
The lost and found is handled through the Building Management Office. If you find or have lost something,
please call us at (619) 618-2955, or stop by our office.
Building Security: Moves and Deliveries
Our goal at Pacific Center is for you to have a safe and successful move. Our rules and regulations are
designed to protect you (the tenant) as well as the building. To prepare for your move or delivery, please
click here for the Moving Rules and Regulations. If you have any questions regarding the move-in process,
please contact us at (619) 618-2955.
Building Security: Property Removal
When removing items, please follow all Moving Rules and Regulations. To dispose of an item, we
recommend the following resources please contact the Management Office at (619) 618-2955 for
recommended vendors. You may not leave unwanted items in the freight lobbies or in the loading area. For
your convenience, Pacific Center holds quarterly electronic recycling events. Please contact the Building
Management Office for a list of dates.
Building Security: Smoking Area
Pacific Center maintains a no smoking policy throughout the building, including all common areas, the lobby,
rest rooms, stairwells and elevators. Please do not smoke at building entrances within 25 feet of any building
entrance.
Building Security: Solicitaion
In an effort to maintain the professional atmosphere of our offices, solicitation or office-to-office selling is not
authorized at any time in the building and access will be strictly controlled.. Please notify the Property
Management Office at (619) 618-2955, if you are observing a solicitor of any kind and we will send
appropriate personnel to escort them off of the premises.
Building Security: Suspicious Persons
If you see suspicious or offensive persons in the building, please call the Building Management Office
immediately. If possible, make note of appearance, clothing, etc. in order to assist building security in
locating them.
Please be aware of strangers in your Tenant areas and halls. Quite often a question such as “May I help
you locate someone?” will be enough to deter a potential thief. Suspicious encounters of this type should be
reported to the Building Management Office immediately.
Building Services: Building Signage
There are electronic directories located in the First Floor lobby and of both buildings. To provide the initial
listing information for your office or to make changes, use the electronic directory request form. These
requests need to be submitted to the Building Management Office.
Landlord will provide the initial building standard suite signage unless otherwise outlined in the tenant lease
agreement. All signage requests must be reviewed and approved by Building Management.
Building Services: Elevators
There are three passenger elevators and one freight elevator in each building at Pacific Center. There are
four garage elevators, two on the northeast side of the structure and two on the southwest side that run from
garage level to the 5th floor.
Elevators are open for general access to most floors from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Outside of these hours, elevators may only be used with building access cards.
If an elevator stops and the doors do not open, or if the doors open between floors, do not panic. Press the
black emergency button near the elevator control panel. This button automatically calls the security desk.
When the security officer answers, you will hear a message informing you and the security officer which
elevator you are in. Immediately following, there will be open communication between you and the security
officer. Security will notify Building Management and our elevator technician. Should you lose contact with
the security officer at any time, simply push the button again, and you will be connected to the security
desk.
Freight elevator hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The freight elevator must be used
for all deliveries. Large deliveries must be scheduled through the Building Management office.
Dimensions of the Freight Elevator:
6 feet, 3.5 inches deep; 4 feet, 2 inches wide (door); and 7 feet, 9 inches high.

Building Services: HVAC
Pacific Center provides quality Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) to the tenants in the
building. Hours of HVAC operation vary depending on individual tenant leases. If you would like to know the
hours of operation set forth in your lease, please call the Building Management office at (619) 618-2955.
After hours HVAC is available at an hourly rate, which is determined by the equipment required and the
resulting electrical consumption. To provide after-hours HVAC, we require 24-hour prior written notice.
Please contact Building Management for further information, and to get an estimate of the cost.
If your suite, or part of your suite, is too hot or too cold, please call the Building Management office. We will
arrange to have our engineers adjust the temperature so that it is comfortable for you and within building
standards (73° F, plus or minus 2° F).
Building Services: Janitorial Services

these times.

you in advance when your windows will be cleaned.
Tenants are responsible for their own carpets. If you would like to have your carpets cleaned, Building
Management can assist you in getting a competitive quote from a cleaning company. We often schedule

Building Services: Postal Services
The tenant mailrooms are located on the first floor. Upon move-in, you will be assigned a mailbox and will
receive mailbox keys. The mailroom is open Monday – Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. The letter
carriers ask that you not enter the room while they are delivering the mail.
Mail may be deposited in the mail slot through the door on the 1st floor at the end of the lobby. Federal
Express and UPS drop boxes are also located through this door.
Emergency Procedures: What to Do in an Emergency
In the event of any emergency, look to your floor warden for guidance. He or she will know the proper
procedures; it is important to follow his or her instructions. Please inform the Building Management Office of
any individuals with temporary (a broken leg, for instance) or permanent mobility impairments. Individuals
with special needs should contact the Building Management office to make arrangements for emergencies.
Emergency Procedures: Bomb Threat
If there is a bomb threat in the building or surrounding area, you will be notified by the building management
office.
If you receive a bomb threat:
1. Stay calm. Do not panic.
2. Keep the caller talking. Ask questions like:
Who is calling?
What does the bomb look like?
Where is the bomb located?
When is the bomb going to explode?
What is the bomb made of?
Why are you trying to harm us?
3. Do not put the caller on hold.
4. Attract the attention of a nearby person to call 911 (This message can be written down on a piece of
paper.)
5. Write down as much as you can of what the caller is saying.
6. Note any background noises or identifying characteristics of the voice.
7. Notify Building Management at (619) 618-2955.
Suspicious Packages or Mail Bombs
Letter bombs are usually sent through the mail addressed to a specific individual in the company, usually
disguised to look like some sort of gift or a small package. Letter bombs have the power to kill or seriously
maim anyone in close proximity. Letter bombs are usually contained within a large size manila envelope
¼â to ½â thick and are fairly rigid.
However, the technology used in letter bombs has become increasingly sophisticated, and can be difficult to
detect visually. Letter bombs have been mailed from cities or small towns in the United States, as well as
from foreign countries. Be especially wary of letters that are mailed to titles -- Chairman, President,
Manager, Security Officer, etc. â rather than directly to named individuals.
If you suspect a parcel contains a letter bomb:
Clear everyone out of the immediate area; establish at least a 25 foot radius around the package.
Notify the police at 911 and Building Management.
DO NOT HANDLE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEACTIVATE IT YOURSELF.
Emergency Procedures: Civil Disturbance
Should a riot or civil disturbance start outside the Building, the security guards will immediately lock all
entrances to the building. The police will be notified. We will keep you informed.
If a disturbance should occur in the main lobby, all elevators will be recalled at the first floor and the police
will be summoned. Entrances and exits from the building may be restricted.
Emergency Procedures: Earthquake
Earthquakes tend to happen where they have occurred in the past, and Washington has a history of
earthquakes. The actual movement of the ground is seldom the direct cause of any emergency that may
arise; most casualties result from falling objects and debris because the shocks can shake, damage, or
demolish buildings. Because earthquakes are not predictable, they are often felt before any warning signal
can be sounded.
During an earthquake:
Find some kind of covering.
Place your hands over your head and neck for protection.
Kneel down in a hunched position next to an inside wall or under a table or desk.
If you are inside the building, stay inside.
Stay away from any dangerous area, such as under heavy objects that may fall, or near windows and
other large pieces of glass.
After an earthquake:
Be prepared for aftershocks.
Administer first aid as necessary.
Stay calm and try to calm others.
Check your area for fires, cracked walls or ceilings, broken windows, jammed doors, ruptured gas
lines or the smell of gas, or broken water lines.
Use a battery powered radio or television to get information and instructions.
Locate any flashlights and batteries in your area.
Emergency Procedures: Elevator Malfunction
If you are in the elevator and it stops for no apparent reason, remember to remain calm. Press the black
emergency button near the elevator control panel. This button automatically calls the security desk. Please
hold until you receive a response. Tell the person on the line the elevator number and the floor location. The
cab number will be identified, and so too, the specific floor on which it is stuck. A member of the
management team or security will maintain two-way communication with occupants until help has arrived.
In the event of a power outage, elevators will continue to operate using our emergency power generator.
Should an outage occur, elevator lights will remain on, but the car itself will temporarily cease moving. Each
elevator will automatically return to the lobby, its doors will open, and it will remain inoperable until the power
has been restored.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE
STAIRWELLS.

Important notes
If you call 911 as a result of a medical emergency, please be sure also to notify the Building Management
Office with your name, callback number, and location so that security may swiftly guide the paramedics to
your exact location.
If the audible alarm within the building sounds, please do not call the Building Management Office, unless
you have something specific to report. Building Management is aware of the alarm, as well as the source of
the alarm, whether it’s a false or legitimate emergency. Please keep the telephone lines clear so that
Building Management may to attend to the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Emergency Procedures: Fire
In the event of a fire, the fire alarm will sound and strobes will flash on your floor. If you discover a fire in your
suite, call 9-1-1. For your use, there are two fire extinguishers located in the stairwells on each floor;
however, even if you are successful in extinguishing the fire, the fire department must be notified so they
can inspect the area and make sure the fire is completely extinguished.
When you hear a fire alarm:
1. Leave the floor by the closest stairwell. Do not use an elevator. Walk down the outside of the stairwell
because the fire department will need to use the inside. As you leave your office, shut doors behind
you to help stop the fire from spreading.
2. Go four floors down and check the door to re-enter the building. If there is smoke coming from under
the door, if the door is hot, or if the alarm is still sounding on this floor, proceed down another four
floors and check again.
3. Go to the elevator lobby of the safe floor and wait for instructions.
4. Stay calm. Follow instructions given over the building’s speaker system by Fire Department or
Building Management personnel.

key role in ensuring an orderly and complete evacuation of affected floors.

Introduction: About Pacific Center
Pacific Center offers a first-class business environment in highly a desirable campus-style setting. Arguably
the best located of all Class “A” office projects in Mission Valley, Pacific Center offers tremendous visibility
and superior corporate identity. The property consists of iconic twin-towers that feature attractive building
design, ideally-sized 22,000 square-foot floor plates with up to twelve corner-offices per floor, and
spectacular views of Mission Valley and the surrounding area. The Project is situated among some of
Mission Valley’s finest amenities with quick and convenient access to luxury hotels, numerous retail
services, an abundance of quick-service and sit-down restaurants, quality housing, and several recreation
and entertainment facilities including Qualcomm Stadium and a 27-hole championship golf course.
The Property is just one block from State Highway 163 and proximate to four additional major freeways
(Interstates 5, 8, 805 and 15) that provide direct links to communities throughout San Diego County.
Additionally, Pacific Center is just two blocks from the San Diego trolley station, servicing Downtown San
Diego and San Diego State University.
Introduction: About CommonWealth Partners
CommonWealth Partners was founded in 1995 by senior members of a diversified development and
operating team that had worked together for 15 years. Together they developed over 20 million square feet
of large-scale, premier-quality office and mixed-use projects that set new standards of excellence in serving
the needs of corporations, professional firms and financial institutions.
CommonWealth Partners has been successful in establishing strong tenant relationships: we believe that
the tenant-landlord relationship is a partnership that benefits from an owner-operator approach. In other
words, the owner-operator (and not a third party) is in the best position to control property management
services. Managing the properties we own results in both cost-efficiency and superior tenant service. CWP
operates based on the belief that our customers demand not only high quality office space but also a broad
range of services to support and enhance their core business operations. CWP strives to understand our
customers’ businesses, and to work cooperatively with them to provide targeted building amenities and
service programs—programs that will serve their needs and enhance their productivity, as well as
meticulously maintain the physical foundation of each asset.

Policies and Procedures: Insurance Protection
In general, insurance requirements will be listed in your lease agreement. In terms of vendor insurance, we
strongly recommend that you obtain a Certificate of Insurance naming your company as an additional
insured.
Policies and Procedures: Moving Rules & Regulations
Our goal at Pacific Center is for you to have a safe and successful move. These rules and regulations are
designed to protect you (the tenant) as well as the building. To prepare for your move, please read this
thoroughly. If you have any questions regarding the move-in process, please contact us at (619) 618-2955.
SCHEDULING:
Moves and deliveries of heavy/bulky items must take place outside of business hours:
Monday – Friday:
6:00 p.m. – 7:00
a.m.
Saturday –
Sunday:
Any time
Tenant (not vendor) must contact CommonWealth Partners at least five (5) business days in advance to
schedule a move/delivery. Required information includes: date and time the vendor will arrive, name of the
vendor, and floor/suite the vendor requires access to. For liability reasons, we will ask for a copy of your
contract with the vendor, as well as proof that your vendor has insurance.
LOADING AREA / FREIGHT ELEVATOR:
Vendors should park in the loading areas of the buildings. Use of the loading area is limited to loading and
unloading only. Personal vehicles are prohibited. There is no exclusive use of the freight
elevator—tenants/vendors are not allowed to “prop open” the freight elevator door. Note: Loading dock
clearance height is 12 feet; truck length limit is 47 feet.
LIABILITY:
CommonWealth Partners strongly recommends that tenants employ experienced and professional movers:
the tenant—and not the vendor—assumes full liability for any damage incurred during a move or delivery.
To protect themselves, tenants should hire vendors that are licensed, bonded, and insured. In addition, they
should obtain a certificate of insurance from their vendor(s), listing them as an additional insured party. If
property damage occurs, CommonWealth Partners will hold the tenant responsible.
PROTECTION:
The building (corridors, doors, stairwells, elevators, floors, walls, etc.) must be protected at all times. Floors
must be covered by Masonite or plywood, and corners and door frames with cardboard or quilted pads. The
move must be strategically planned and orchestrated so that affected areas are safeguarded against
damage. You, the tenant, assume full responsibility for protection of the building and incur any and all costs
associated with said protection.
