FUTURE SECOND ELEVATOR OPTION A
DECEMBER 16, 2025
E
ELEVATOR CONNECTS THREE STORIES AND WOULD REQUIRE A 1-HOUR RATED ENCLOSURE AND LOBBIES/DEPLOYABLE SHUTTERS LOCATION OPENS ON FLAT SLAB AT ALL AREAS BUT WOULD REDUCE OVERALL PARKING BY 2 STALLS
AN ALTERNATE IS POSSIBLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STAIR FOR NO PARKING LOSS BUT WOULD ENCROACH ON THE PLAZA
THIS WOULD LOOK MOST INTENTIONAL

GROUND LEVEL
FUTURE SECOND ELEVATOR OPTION B
DECEMBER 16, 2025
ELEVATOR CONNECTS THREE STORIES BUT DUE TO LOCATION MAY FORGO LOBBIES/HOISTWAY PROTECTION
LOCATION REQUIRES CUSTOM CAB WITH SIDE/FRONT OPENING TO AVOID QUEUING IN TRAFFIC WOULD REQUIRE MINIMAL DEMO AND CAN BE BRACED FROM EXISTING STRUCTURE.
WOULD LIKELY BE MOST COST EFFECTIVE

FUTURE SECOND ELEVATOR OPTION C
DECEMBER 16, 2025
ELEVATOR CONNECTS THREE STORIES AND WOULD REQUIRE A 1-HOUR RATED ENCLOSURE AND LOBBIES/DEPLOYABLE SHUTTERS
LOCATION OPENS ON FLAT SLAB AT ALL AREAS BUT WOULD NOT REDUCE PARKING
THIS WOULD LIKELY BE LEAST DISRUPTIVE LOCATION
