and is connected to 1UBC by the Skyway. There are pedestrian
entrances to the Atrium in 2UBC, 3UBC, and the Skyway, and on
Broadway, Lincoln Street, and 17th Avenue.
The Atrium shares its mechanical systems with 2UBC; those
systems are located below ground within 2UBC. The basement area
of the Atrium is used for storage and houses a backup power
generator. The Atrium contains space for one restaurant and
retail space for one tenant.
Beginning about 1988, UBD owned and operated The Atrium
Cafe, which seated approximately 135 people, and UBD paid a fee
to a contractor to manage the restaurant's operations. Beginning
in 1994, UBD discontinued operating The Atrium Cafe and leased
the space for the operation of another restaurant. UBD also
leased space for the operation of “expresso carts”.
Beginning on October 12, 1987, for a 10-year term, the
retail space in the Atrium had been leased for the operation of a
Russell's convenience store (the Russell's lease).
From the time of the Atrium's opening in 1986, the only
operating revenues generated by the Atrium have been derived from
the Russell's lease and from the operations of The Atrium Cafe
and other food operations. Those operating revenues have been
less than overhead expenses (maintenance, utilities, taxes,
etc.), resulting in net operating losses during the period 1989
through 1995, as follows:
