24-06385 ELW Elevator #39 Modernization

Engineering Lab Wing Building

Facilities Management working with Vertech Elevator Consulting and Richmond Elevator Service, will be completing the ELW Elevator #39 modernization. The elevator service shutdown is required to replace the buried hydraulic cylinder, controller panels, car interior finishes and related life safety systems. The hydraulic system pressure testing and removal of the existing hydraulic cylinder commencing December 2024 will be noisy and maybe distractive during the first phase of the project.

Please note: once the project commences there will be no elevator service in ELW until the TSB Inspection is complete permitting public operation.

Please be advised the lower level washrooms adjacent to the elevator lobby will be closed and included in the dust control hoarding area to ensure safety during the upgrade. Please use caution in the lobby area and obey all safety signage.

Sorry for any inconvenience this project may cause.

December 2024 project start; elevator service shutdown planned until May 2025 approximately.
