2011-3-17-正在翻修的圣塔安娜學(xué)院教育中心（CEC）安裝了MEM公司的模塊化電梯。MEM公司是液壓電梯和無機(jī)房電梯制造商。
之前CEC的的電梯只能載45名兒童，現(xiàn)在的模塊化電梯則可容納200名3-4歲兒童，電梯聯(lián)結(jié)教室，資源室和學(xué)院的兒童早期教育工作室。
模塊化電梯系統(tǒng)安裝期只需三天。安裝過程包括運(yùn)送電梯系統(tǒng)和用起重機(jī)將電梯系統(tǒng)吊至指定位置。電梯與學(xué)院的兩層建筑完美融合，嵌入式的無孔液壓電梯包含在獨(dú)立鋼結(jié)構(gòu)之外，與整個(gè)建筑完全匹配。電梯系統(tǒng)擁有先進(jìn)的數(shù)控功能，裝備完善的電梯廂，鋼結(jié)構(gòu)模塊化提升間，由燃油液壓機(jī)提供動(dòng)力。
MEM公司主席Tom Shield說：“模塊化電梯系統(tǒng)得到了加州建筑廳的認(rèn)可，安裝過程簡易，最大限度減少安裝過程中的不便，為CEC學(xué)院的孩子們和老師帶來了方便?！?BR>模塊化電梯比傳統(tǒng)電梯更有優(yōu)勢(shì)，并且適合在學(xué)校中使用，價(jià)格比傳統(tǒng)電梯便宜，省電省力，嵌入式的設(shè)計(jì)節(jié)省了安裝成本和時(shí)間，并且經(jīng)久耐用。
這項(xiàng)創(chuàng)新工程始于2009年8月，2010年9月模塊化電梯通過檢查得到認(rèn)可，工程團(tuán)隊(duì)中包括建筑師Harley Ellis Devereaux，施工經(jīng)理Bernards兄弟和 San Fernando和施工公司ISEC公司。

Santa Ana College Child Development Center Modernizes With MEM Elevator

03.17.2011– The Centennial Education Center (CEC) at Santa Ana College added a modular elevator from Modular Elevator Manufacturing, Inc. (MEM), leading manufacturer of factory preinstalled commercial hydraulic and machine-room-less elevators, during its renovation to expand the facility.
The CEC added a modular elevator to modernize the facility that was originally constructed to serve 45 children and now accommodates nearly 200 children ranging from infants to preschoolers 3-4 years of age. The facility combined children's classrooms and resource areas with a small teaching workspace for the college's early childhood education program.
The modular elevator system took just three days to install. The installation process included delivering the system to the CEC on a flatbed truck and hoisting it into the elevator pit with a crane. The elevator is adjacent to the facility’s two-story outdoor stairwell and features a Fastrack, 2-stop, in-line, holeless hydraulic elevator contained in a freestanding structural steel hoistway that matches the CEC’s facade. The elevator system features state of the art digital controls, a fully-equipped standard elevator car, fully assembled modular hoistway tower constructed from welded tubular steel and is powered by an oil hydraulic machine.
“The modular elevator system meets California Division of State Architect approval and ADA requirements,” explains Tom Shield, President and Founder of MEM. “The installation went smoothly, as our simple, straightforward system minimizes on-site construction and inconvenience. The end result provided an affordable solution that provided improved accessibility for the children, parents, students and teachers that utilize the CEC.”
Modular elevators offer many advantages over a conventional elevator and are ideal for use in education facilities. Priced below conventional elevators, they also require less labor to install and power to operate. The holeless design reduced cost and installation time for the CEC and requires very little maintenance.
The renovation project started in August 2009 and the elevator was set in March 2010. The elevator was inspected and approved in September 2010. In addition to MEM, the project team included Harley Ellis Devereaux, Los Angeles, CA as architect, Bernards Brothers, San Fernando, CA as construction manager and ISEC, Ontario, CA as general contractor.
