We’re proud to announce two recently awarded projects at Lincoln Park Zoo and Des Plaines Theatre.
Lincoln Park Zoo Lion House
The first is the installation of a 2 stop holeless hydraulic elevator at the Lincoln Park Zoo Lion House. Manufactured by Canton Elevator, the project is a new installation which will feature non-proprietary control equipment from Smartrise Engineering. As the current elevator maintenance provider for Lincoln Park Zoo, we are excited to continue our long-running relationship with both the zoo and their general contractor Pepper Construction.
Des Plaines Theatre
The second is installation of a new elevator and dumbwaiter at the Des Plaines Theatre. The job will include a 3 stop, 5 opening holeless hydraulic elevator manufactured by MEI and a dumbwaiter manufactured by DA Matot. This installation will also feature non-proprietary control equipment from Smartrise Engineering. Opened in 1926, the Des Plaines Theatre has a long, rich history and is currently being restored by the Des Plaines Public Works Department.
We would like to thank our vendor partners for their support and look forward to posting updates as they’re available.
