Vertical Transportation Design
Vertical transportation (VT) systems, such as elevators and escalators, are a vital asset in any building. Vertical transportation elements are highly visible, meaning a well-designed elevator or escalator can serve as a cornerstone for a truly beautiful building. Not only do VT elements serve your building’s design, but they also serve an important purpose in helping everyone, from visitors to owners to tenants, navigate your building quickly and efficiently.
Vertical transportation design is the process of designing elevators and escalators, taking into consideration peak traffic patterns, capacity handling, average wait time, mixed use and priority services requirements, average time to destination, and future populations in your building.

Vertical transportation system design is a key factor in the success of high-rise buildings. The occupants of a high-rise building depend on the efficiency and reliability of the building’s vertical transportation systems. When designing an elevator for a high-rise, it is crucial to consider wait times, occupancy levels, aesthetic requirements, capacity, and available space while maximizing efficiency, energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness.
