SAFE SCHOOLS DESIGN GUIDELINES

systems & equipment

ELEVATORS

Elevators should be centrally located adjacent to main circulation spaces, i.e. entry lobbies and primary corridors. A five foot deep landing area should be provided without obstructing student traffic.

General access to elevators should be controlled with limited access to authorized individuals. The use of elevators for criminal activities could be significantly deterred by faculty/staff surveillance of lobbies and corridors coupled with video monitoring within the cars.
