Sample Answer
In my last role managing a community hub that averaged about 250 visitors a day, I treated opening and closing like a checklist-driven routine. At opening, I’d arrive 30–40 minutes early, disarm the alarm, and do a full walk-through: exits clear, fire doors unblocked, no signs of forced entry, all windows intact. I’d log any issues, then test emergency lighting weekly and spot-check extinguishers and first-aid stations. After that, I’d set up rooms according to the day’s bookings, verify AV equipment, and quickly wipe down high-touch areas so the first users walked into a clean, ready space. For closing, I reversed the process: clear users floor by floor, shut down equipment, secure valuables, lock internal doors in a set sequence, then a second walk-through to confirm all lights off, taps off, and no one left inside. I’d arm the alarm and record any incidents. Over 18 months, we had zero security breaches and no opening delays.
