Mobility Elevator was recently contracted to install an elevator as part of a renovation to an office building in New Canaan, CT. For this remodel, the elevator of choice was the Commercial LULA elevator model Orion MRL with geared traction drive. The newly renovated office features an array of large glass window panes on both the walls and as part of the entrance ways to offices. Following this theme within the office, the Orion MRL was the perfect choice to blend perfectly into its surroundings as this elevator features a glass shaftway, allowing light in from the large windows behind, creating an architectural element. Elevator installations are not only great for improving ADA compliance within buildings, they can also add a sleek modern touch.
