Reply to Podium Vendor for Event Spaces
Brian that specificity is not limited to your previous employer – I share it and thank you for offering that clarification! I wish more people could adopt that habit.

Reply to Info Desk Staff Safety
We experience the same community visitor traffic you described – our position on the edge of campus means that we are often a prime location for that.
