COVID-19 EXPECTED TO CREATE BOTTLENECKS FOR ELEVATORS

With some companies hoping to reopen office buildings in careful steps as the coronavirus pandemic continues, many are acknowledging that the world is facing a “new normal” in light of social-distancing requirements. Nowhere is this expected to be more noticeable than in skyscraper lobbies, as mass gatherings of people will be forced to wait for elevator service. For example, the Daily Mail reported on May 8 that Safe Work Australia is recommending people maintain a 1.5-m distance from others inside elevators. In many instances, this will mean no more than two people per car at any time. Angela Ferguson, managing director of design firm Futurespace, said that, considering an elevator designed to carry 10 people, limiting it to two would mean only 10% of the building’s occupants could be efficiently “moved” during a typical workday. Richard Fennell of JLL, a company that manages hundreds of buildings, said the procedure will likely involve staff to enforce elevator queues and that security guards may be stationed on every floor to ensure empty cars are sent back down. Meanwhile, Quartz reported on May 7 that San Francisco-based global software company Salesforce plans to have employees “check in” for work before leaving home, at which time they will receive a “ticket” for a specific time to ride the elevator, “much in the same way that you would arrive at Disney for a ride,” CEO Marc Benioff said.
