How do I add a new team member to my membership?

Congratulations 🎉!

Thanks for hiring an awesome new team member to join the Village family! We love adding great people to our community. Please get your new hires excited to onboard with us during our New Member Orientation! This is where we give them a special welcome, help them get acclimated, and give them their keycard.

Below are the 3 easy (required) steps that you need to communicate to your new team member. We suggest a quick copy and paste of the below content to send them. =)

2. SCHEDULE YOUR NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION.

Please use THIS link to schedule your New Member Orientation on your first day of work.  Appointments start at 9:30am (Monday-Thursday). It will be awesome and under 30 minutes. =)

Enjoy a cup of coffee while we show you the ins and outs of the Village (because we are WAY more than just office space). We reward your time with your key card which will make you officially official.

Note: You can only pick up your key card through our New Member Orientation.

3. PARKING.

You can park in the Village Parking Deck on your first day by utilizing our Visitor Parking for a paid, hourly rate. Monthly parking passes can be arranged through your startup's Founder and/or hiring manager AFTER you have attended New Member Orientation. The MARTA Buckhead Station is also a quick 4 minute walk.

This space is exclusively available to lactating members and includes amenities like two private pumping pods, blue tooth speakers, space heaters, storage lockers, a sink, disinfectant machine, lactation drinks & snacks, and a fridge, etc.

Key card problems, replacements, and questions.

To replace a lost keycard, the fee is $10.00 and you need to schedule a time with Irina at the front lobby desk for replacement. Is your key card not working properly? We can reset it. Please email Irina at irina@atlantatechvillage.com with your name, company name, and the exact problem you are having. She will be in touch shortly. Wondering how many keycards come with your office? Private offices can have up to 20% extra keycards per your desk ratio. So, if you have a 4 person office, you can have 5 keycards to allocate. (hello, interns!)Subleasing to a fellow member? No problem. We know it helps pay the bills. The owner of the office plan is solely responsible for everything including payments, parking, subleasing, and Village Team needs. As the main (and only) point of contact, you are responsible for communicating the on boarding instructions to each new member. And, all on boards/off boards need to be communicated directly from you (owner of the account) to Richard at richard@atlantatechvillage.com .

What is the visitor policy?

VISITOR POLICY:You must greet and walk your visitors from the entrance to your area. We have an awesome iPad check in system in our 1st floor lobby for your guests. Through the ipad, they will look up the person they are meeting. If that is you, you will be greeted with a text that says who that person is, what company they are with, and that they are waiting for you to pick them up in reception (the 1st floor lobby). You are able to respond to them through text. Feel free to go downstairs and test it out!PLEASE NOTE: With this system in place, you are responsible for walking down and greeting all of your guests. Neither security nor staff will be escorting your guests to you. Why? Because our goal is to make our community tight knit and safe and this system will help make that possible. Also remember that all stairwells, elevators, and entryways are key carded, so a wayward visitor may get stuck in an access-controlled area. Be sure to walk your visitors back to the 1st floor.

How do I get my logo on the plaque outside of my office?

To submit your logo for FREE installation on the plaque outside of your suite, please fill out this quick form.

*Keep in mind that ATV collects and orders logos in batches once a quarter. Submission date may impact lead time so please plan for 6-8 weeks to install.

Rooftop Hours

Having access to the Village's rooftop is an awesome perk, right? Hours for Villager access aligns with security hours which is 8AM-7PM Monday-Friday. The rooftop may be closed from time to time for a private event. We'll let you know through signage in the elevators.

I want to have an event at the Village. How do I schedule that?

If your group is 8 people or fewer, you may want to consider booking a conference room. You can do this at atlantatechvillage.com member login under Booking Calendar. During the day, you can use the Lenox National Boardroom for groups up to 20. In the evenings, the Lenox National Boardroom becomes an event space and must be rented through Nisha (nisha@atlantatechvillage.com). For larger events, you can rent the Event Center, Community Center, or Rooftop patio at a Member discounted rate. Please email Nisha for reservations or more info!

What should I do in an emergency situation?

What should I do if there's an active shooter?

  • Look out for an email alerting you of the situation from Village management!
  • Close and barricade all doors. Turn off all lights, computers, silence phones, etc.
  • Hide in a closed space, and try not to be seen. Stay hidden and wait until police clearance.

What should I do if there's inclement weather?

  • Move to the center of the lower levels of the building, away from the exterior windows. Try to get to Club Level or a lower floor restroom.

What if there's a medical emergency?

  • If there's a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911! If you need assistance, one of the Village team members is more than happy to help.
  • If you do not need to go to the hospital, remember we keep first aid kits under every kitchen sink. :)

What should I do if there's a fire?

  • Take the stairs all the way down (in the green stairwell? Go to Club Level. Orange stairwell? Go to 1st floor. See correlating directional signs below). Take the closest exit, and meet at the sidewalk in between Wells Fargo & Buckhead Church. The Village team will be at the bottom of every staircase directing you.
  • Need assistance? Go to the nearest stairwell and wait on the landing. The stairwells are 1-hour fire rated. A Village team member will join you shortly.
