COVID-19 Response

Advent continues to create an environment where members can be productive, grow, and collaborate. In order to meet our mission during this pandemic, we need your help to create a safer community.

Cleaning:
- Daily cleaning and medical-grade disinfecting of entire common space (includes tables, chairs, door handles, high touch surfaces, and upholstery) by Germacide Cleaning Solutions.
- Bi-monthly, an electrostatic fogger distributes medical-grade disinfectant and an anti-microbial chemical to protect surfaces for a longer period of time. Courtesy of Whystle.co.
  - Advent is closed to members from 7-9am every 2^nd and 4^th Sunday for the disinfectant fogging.
Advent Staff:
- Available onsite and virtually from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.
Member Health:
- Members must not come into Advent if they are sick, have tested positive for COVID-19, or been in close physical contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 2 weeks.
- If you test positive, please notify Advent staff directly or fill out our anonymous form.
Masks:
- Masks are required in all unenclosed spaces within Advent for ALL individuals. Masks can be removed inside private offices, meeting rooms, and phone booths with closed doors.
Temp Check:
- There is a non-contact thermometer installed by every entrance. Temperature checks are no longer required, but the thermometers remain for those who wish to check themselves or their guests.
COVID Safety
- Everyone must practice safe, 6 foot social distancing in the common areas.
- To allow for proper social distancing, meeting room capacities have been lowered. Capacities can be viewed on the Book a Room page of the website.
- Hand sanitizer dispensers are available by every entrance.
- Hands-free foot openers have been installed on the majority of doors. Hand sanitizer is available near all doors for those unable to use the foot door openers.
- Common area work spaces have Plexiglass dividers and disinfectant supplies. Please disinfect your work station before and after use, including podcast studio equipment if used.
Kitchen:
- Single-use, compostable dishes, cups, silverware, and towels are available in the kitchens.
- Reusable dishes and towels are also available.
- Members can store their own dishes, coffee makers, etc. in the Advent kitchens.
Coffee:
- Members receive one free, 12 oz cup of drip coffee, tea, or a piece of fruit per day (M-F) from Paper Plane Deli and Market, plus a free 12 oz cup of drip coffee for a guest once per week.
Guests:
- Guests must follow all the same protocol as members.
HVAC:
- iWave Air Cleaners have been installed in all our HVAC units. They use patented cold plasma technology and bi-polar ionization to actively treat air. They have been proven to kill viruses, bacteria, and mold. They also reduce allergens, odors, smoke, static electricity, and airborne particles.
- Advent is a single story structure. The building's HVAC system pulls in fresh air frequently throughout the day and pushes it into Advent from the ceiling downward.

This is a zero tolerance workspace. If any of these items are not followed by an Advent member or their guest, their membership will be suspended for a period of time determined by the Advent team (office tenants must still meet their lease obligations if suspended).

We may update and modify these items as we continue to receive guidance from public health officials. We will proactively communicate with you as best as possible for these updates.

Thank you for your cooperation and putting the Advent Community first!
