Board reviews elevator limits and emergency-training efforts at Hamilton
Summary
Board members were told one elevator can accommodate a stretcher while the other has size limitations; staff said local fire and police have conducted building-specific trainings to improve emergency response and tenant safety.
Board members raised safety and emergency-access concerns about the Hamilton's elevators and response procedures. Staff said one elevator can fit a stretcher but the other may present access challenges; the board discussed constraints raising the need for elevator repairs and possible upgrades. "One of them does fit a stretcher," staff said, noting physical size limits and the need for elevator work among the next priority items.
To mitigate emergency-response risks, the fire department and police have participated in training and meet-and-greet sessions at the building to familiarize responders with the Hamilton's layout and constraints. Staff said the training and coordination have improved readiness when the closest station is already on a call and other stations must respond.
