The company I work for has its offices in a building Cisco mostly occupies.
There have been Arrowpoint engineering staff in and out all week getting
badges for a move-in within the next 2-3 weeks.

As an aside containing actual internet operational content, are there any
pointers onna web to redundancy and load-balancing solutions NOT using BGP?
I'm pretty much talking about two different providers with different
addressing schemes trying to connect to a third party who is a customer of
both providers, but who cannot justify a /20.   What are my primary options
here for connectivity to the customer (short of adding three or four completely
seperate production networks to the justification request)?
