This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
Over the past several months the Chicago Campus has been involved in annual inspections of all campus vertical transportation. A more thorough and rigorous inspection process has been engaged by the campus due to the establishment of new and more stringent operating standards. An independent elevator inspection company, following State of Illinois standards identified a wide range of deficiencies in over 125 conveyances across the campus. This emergency is related to emergencies JMG405 and JMG406.
