Brandeis University - lown elevator addition
During the fall of 2023, ZVI achieved a notable milestone by successfully installing a 4-stop, 3500lb elevator. This elevator now offers accessibility to all levels of an office/ classroom building that dates back to the 1960s on the campus of Brandeis University. The elevator is situated within a steel-framed extension, seamlessly connecting to the main hallway on each floor. Additionally, single-occupant accessible restrooms have been included on the 1st and 3rd floors of the extension. To enhance access to the building’s first floor, a brand new accessible exterior ramp and entry plaza were constructed.
