Proposal Outline: Elevators Are Too Crowded
Executive Summary: Due to CRAZY amount of traffic in CityTech, students are faced with being on line for numerous minutes causing students to be late for class! A solution to this problem is to develop multiple ways to have students travel up and down the building.
• Escalators
• Slide Tubing
Statement of Need/Problem:
• Students are responsible for what time they get to class. Blaming the elevators isn’t a solution for being marked late in your class. We need more methods of getting to class!
• Elevators are overwhelmingly crowded, resulting students to take the stairs.
Population to be served:
• 5,529 admitted freshmen
• 3,358 enrolled students
• 1,900 transfer students
• 1,350 transfer students admitted
• Not addressing any handicap students
Project Overview:
• Integrated the escalators to have students go up & down
• To have students use escalators for lower levels where as students going to high level floors use the elevators
• Slides used to go down
Expected Barriers/Challenges:
• Engineering the slides
• Cost
• Students being comfortable about using slides
• Safety
• Construction of escalators
• Installation and Design
Project Outcomes:
• Students will not be delayed
• No traffic in between classes
Project Budget: N/A
