As the Elevator Modernization Project nears its end, we thought we'd take you
behind the scenes to look at some of the work that has taken place. During the
past two years, all four high-rise lifts inside the Clubhouse have received new hoist
motors, controls, and cables. In addition, a new dispatch system was installed.
The first thing members will likely notice when the project wraps up—work is
scheduled for completion in June—is that you will no longer choose your desti-
nation floor from inside the elevator. Instead, you'll select your floor from outside
the lifts. "Members will notice the difference in convenience and efficiency and
bottom-line travel time in getting to their destinations around the Club," WAC Presi-
dent & CEO Chuck Nelson says.
Before the upgrade, much of the high-rise elevator system dated to Clubhouse
construction in 1929.
