According to Wellogy Architect and Principal Julie Delos Santos, when modernizing vertical transportation, there are many options to explore, and it depends on the size of your building and the number of cars you have running. Delos Santos should know, in the past 25 years with the firm she has made quite a name for herself as the goto elevator resource.

From the modernization of historic elevators at the Moyer Judicial Center, which houses The Supreme Court of Ohio, to the Bureau of Workers Compensation Elevator Modernization and numerous service and passenger elevator modernizations, Julie has managed projects to modernize over 100 elevator cars, including 24 with Destination Dispatch capabilities. According to Delos

Santos, the Vern Riffe Destination Dispatch Elevator Modernization is the best example of creating an efficient and safer elevator experience, both now and in the future. The Vern Riffe State Office Tower houses the Ohio Governor’s office. The 32-story building was completed in 1988 before the Destination Dispatch system was available. Wellogy led the multi-phased modernization of 18 elevators and their respective machine rooms. All work was completed in the fully occupied high-rise office building. The design team worked closely with the Owner to phase the work in such a manner as to minimize any impact on the building occupants. The results provide safety and security and create an efficient and executed vertical transportation system to support the needs of this significant building.

In the realm of complex renovations, architects serve as linchpins, seamlessly blending creativity with practicality and overseeing every facet of the endeavor. Within this domain, elevator modernization projects are prime examples of the architect’s multifaceted role, where their expertise in project management becomes indispensable. Architects navigate the intricacies of regulations, coordinate diverse stakeholders, and ensure the project progresses smoothly from conception to completion. Here are three key benefits Wellogy will bring to your next elevator renovation/ modernization project:

Code Compliance and Regulatory Knowledge: Elevator modernization projects are subject to various building codes, safety regulations, and accessibility standards. Our team has in-depth knowledge of these regulations and can ensure that the renovated elevators meet all the requirements. From ensuring compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines to adhering to local building codes, Wellogy leadership is crucial in navigating the regulatory landscape and securing necessary permits for the project.

With our blend of creativity, expertise, and a drive to get things done, we transform mundane vertical transport into an art form, elevating buildings and the entire experience of those who inhabit them.
