Commuters--office building parking

Fellow bike commuters, I have a question: Does your office building have a bike room? If so, is there a fee to park your bike and how much? My building is about to impose a fee and I'm curious how it compares. Thanks.

Not exactly. I'm at 227 W. Monroe, and the gym is $75 lifetime as long as you work in the building. Pretty sweet price for a gym w/ showers. Bike racks are Free/super safe in the heated garage, just make sure you don't scratch the Ferrari's parking! (Or Maserati's, or Mercedes, Range Rovers...)

At 540 W Madison there is a locking series of cages. No showers...yet. No cost. Security guy seems to know people by sight. My old building (227 W Monroe) had underground, rack parking and a free gym. Parking was tight in summer.

One S. Dearborn - small bike room, enter via secured card-access door on Madison by the entrance to parking ramp. No fee, showers in the building fitness center. You do have to sign a waiver, basically says you bike park at your own risk. Not sure if there is a security camera in the room, but there's one outside at the entrance. Room does fill up quickly in warmer weather.

70 W. Madison - bike room, enter via 2(!) secured card access doors on Clark by garage parking ramp. Same deal as OSD - no fee, showers in fitness center, sign the waiver.
