This project provides funding for the modernization and/or replacement of existing elevators on all three campuses.

Increase due to addition of FY29 and FY30.

Many elevator systems at the College are inefficient, outdated and beyond continued economic repair. While the College's maintenance program has kept elevators operational, spare parts are not readily available from maintenance providers for many of the older pieces of elevator equipment. This results in extended down time, high maintenance costs, higher energy consumption, and the lack of current car safety devices. This project will modernize elevators to improve overall performance, safety, reliability and energy conservation, and to achieve code compliance. Furthermore, some buildings lack elevators or have elevators of inadequate size requiring the installation of new elevators to increase accessibility and capacity. Related studies include the Montgomery College Strategic Plan (7/23), Collegewide Facilities Condition Assessment (1/23), a Collegewide Elevator Study (4/05), the Collegewide Facilities Master Plan (Pending 2023), and the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Elevator Update (9/09).

FY25 Appropriation: $54,000 (G.O. Bonds). FY26 Appropriation: $200,000 (G.O. Bonds).

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.

This project is coordinated with the scheduled building renovations on the Rockville, Takoma Park/Silver Spring and Germantown Campuses., Phase 4 - Takoma Park/Silver Spring Elevator Study, Site Improvements: College (CIP No. P076601)
