Education Solutions Ready to Go

Safe, quality commercial elevators that are delivered when you need them. That is the difference that we can make for education projects.

The Modular Elevator Manufacturing (MEM) Elevator System is flexible enough for almost any educational building including stadiums, classroom access, administrative offices, student housing or any other application you can think of.

The MEM Elevator System is that flexible. But it is also very easy. We take care of the hard work and allow you or your team to consider the options.

Also, the MEM Elevator System is designed for any school district and even meets the rigorous demands of the state of California. They are Pre-Designed and have a Pre-Approved Plan Check (PC) by the California Division of State Architecture (DSA) for both interior and exterior elevators.

This means we can meet any building challenge regardless of the jurisdiction. The complete elevator and hoistway including the pit design is ready for approvals and submittals. You will find they have the following already in place:

• Hoistway and Rails
• Pit and Concrete Details
• Engineering
• Modular Machine Room if Requested
• Thresholds
• Pit Ladder
• Elevator Layout and Access Compliance

We also make available plans that easily are dragged and dropped into any drawings and for California partners a DSA Submission is as simple as taking a set of MEM Pre-Approved DSA PC drawings and attaching them to any set of Architectural drawings.

Whether the project is built traditionally, or as a modular project as is the growing trend, they are an exceptional option that is easily integrated.

The MEM Elevator System is perfect for projects with up to 75 feet of elevator travel and are available for both interior and exterior applications. They have tremendous flexibility in design and placement.

Also, we are the true experts in vertical transportation and will help guide the project proactively. Because of the high quality of the elevator and our professional staff, we have installed more elevators than any other modular company and have more elevators placed in schools than any other modular elevator company.

Our Modular Elevators are produced exclusively at the MEM factory at the same time the prep and foundation work for the site is being conducted. The MEM System is then trucked to the site and set into the elevator pit with a crane in about 4 hours and the elevator is off the critical path…often before a conventional elevator even begins to be installed.

As the MEM Elevator System is in place early in the construction process it can even be set up as a Construction Hoist, under temporary power, providing additional cost savings to the project.

As with any elevator, it is recommended that a Modular Elevator be incorporated early in the project design process to accommodate the footprint, any building connections and required machine room space. This leads to a smooth Building Permit process (avoiding deferred submittals), eliminates any reconfiguration of the building and provides for efficient construction.
