Higher education institutions are building about 1,500+ new buildings and additions and modernizing 2,500+ buildings annually. Whether a new or existing building, there are regulatory requirements set nationally, locally, and at the state level regarding vertical transportation systems. We understand that colleges build and maintain many types of facilities, including research laboratories, art studios, utility generation and transmission plants, dormitories, and water-distribution systems. Some institutions also have specialized facilities such as medical centers, agricultural center, nuclear reactors, and high-security biomedical laboratories.
VTX has a clear understanding of the unique requirements each of these facilities have in a campus environment. Dorm elevators are different from classroom buildings. Parking garage elevators are different from elevators in the library.
We understand the Code and how it will impact your campus. We offer survey, inspection, design, and construction administration services for your elevators and escalators. We have the tools and training needed to design a smooth, safe environment for your educational facility.
