Abstract: An event notification system for residential and commercial buildings. The system comprises at least one operator terminal and a plurality of user terminals throughout the building. Each suite or unit of the building has a user terminal removably secured in a prominent location on a wall. The user terminal has a touch screen for easy navigation of the user interface. This user interface provides a variety of selectable tasks and notification messages associated therewith. Notification messages are sent by building management to any individual, subset or group of user terminals to inform tenants of updates. Tenants have the option of responding to some notifications to provide management with comments and suggestions. In this way, the event notification system facilitates timely and effective communication between building management and tenants.
