As part of the ongoing restoration of the historic Telephone Building, crews had completed a full rebuild of the building’s elevator shaft. The upgrade included a new five-foot-deep pit wall and a 40-foot shaft designed to accommodate a modern, energy-efficient Kone elevator.
The new system meets all current code requirements while preserving valuable interior space. Structural tie beams and reinforcements enhance safety and longevity, enabling improved accessibility without compromising historic character.
This critical infrastructure project improved functionality while respecting the building’s early 20th-century roots.
