Important Tenant Information


Annual Employee Count

Each June, the Facilities Manager will ask for an employee count from each tenant, affiliate and former tenant. The ISURP provides this information for economic development purposes and never provides employment figures for any individual company without express permission from that tenant. We appreciate you providing this information on a timely basis. 

 

Safety Coordinators

To maintain the health and safety if all tenant employees, the ISURP periodically disseminates information pertaining to fire safety. To facilitate this process, each Tenant Company or Organization designates one or two individuals to act as safety coordinators as well as the established evacuation plans. 

 

Customer Number 

If you request data or voice activations through Iowa State University, you will be assigned a university accounts receivables number. Any charges to this account number will be billed directly from the university. 

 

Campus Parking Permits

The ISURP office has a limited number of vendor parking passes for use on the university campus and can be checked out for use.  

 

Identification Cards

Employees of tenant organizations may choose to obtain an ISU Research Park photo ID. An annual fee of $15 per cardholder is required. Tenants must complete an ISU Research Park  Photo Identification Request form and submit it, along with the appropriate payment to the ISURP office. You must schedule a time to go to the ISU Card office to have their photo taken and pick up their ID. This ID must be renewed each year. For assistance, please call Becky Williams at the ISURP office at (515) 294-7444. 

 

Library E-Resources 

Employees of tenant organizations are allowed access to Parks Library E-Resources. To access this service, each employee must have a Net ID. Contact Michele Farnham with a list of requested Net ID's via email at [email protected]. Please advise Michele when an individual who has a Net ID has left your employment so they can be removed from the list. Once an employee receives the confirmation email from ISU ITS, they have three days to use the link to set up their Net ID before the link expires. 

 

Conference Room Reservations

The Research Park can set up each tenant with a username and password to allow individuals within that company to request use of the Research Park's conference room facilities. Call the main office number at (515) 296-7275 for assistance.
