FAR/Oglesby Residence Hall, built in 1966 is in replacing three (3) 13-stop traction elevators, machine room equipment, etc. to upgrade the elevators to current elevator codes and ADA guidelines. In addition to this work, a new sump pump and shaft ventilation will be provided per Code. One elevator, originally designed to stop below the top floor, will be extended to serve all floors. A new elevator machine room and penthouse will also be added.
4240 is leading the team that is designing, bidding, and administering the elevator replacement work.
Staging of this project will require two of the elevators to be replaced in the summer of 2009 and the third to be replaced in the summer of 2010.
