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 JMG404 and JMG406.
