| The Sky Bridge is on the 41st floor, between the 41st and the 42nd floors. It is 170 meters high and 58 meters long.
Tower One is fully occupied by the Petronas Company itself and its subsidiary and associate companies. The office spaces in Tower Two are leased to other companies like Accenture, Al Jazeera International, Bloomberg, Boeing, Microsoft, IBM etc. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a popular shopping mall, and the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, which is the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. There is a park with jogging and walking tracks, a fountain with incorporated light show, pools, and a children's playground outside the building.
The Sky Bridge is open to all visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, but passes, which are limited to 1400 per day, usually run out before noon and so must be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. Passes are free. The Sky Bridge was built as a safety device in the event of a fire or other emergency in any one of the towers. Tenants could evacuate by crossing the Sky Bridge to the other tower. However, the total evacuation triggered by a bomb hoax on September 12, 2001, showed that the bridge was insufficient if both towers need to be emptied simultaneously, and the capacity of the staircases was not enough as well.
