Cornell University Wing Hall Elevator Modernization by Architectural Resources

Design Brief

Project Location: Ithaca, NY

On the National Register of Historic Buildings, the five-story Wing Hall is home to Cornell University’s department of microbiology. A|r developed a program report for the modernization of a single basement traction elevator at Wing Hall. A comprehensive review of the related mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and plumbing systems relating to the elevator supported the recommendation to upgrade various components of the system. The replacement of the hoist machine, controller, control wiring, fixtures, landing doors, and cab interior will increase the reliability, energy efficiency and safety of the students and faculty utilizing the elevator. The existing machine room equipment layout was reconfigured to improve equipment working clearances.
