[Alan Magee Scaife Hall - W. Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA - Recorded 05/13/2023]
The university recently added a new wing to Pitt's School of Medicine, which involved demolishing the old Scaife Auditorium/part of the Falk Health Sciences Library, which the library had a Westinghouse replaced with a Schindler 330A in 2007. It was demolished in 2019-20. Recently, they modernized the main 3 elevators here with Compass 360, and when I saw they were installing a 2nd set of 3 elevators in this new wing, I, although not initially, was thinking they would install Compass on these too, and I was right. That's also why there's no "A," "B," or "C," as those are for the main cars. Instead these are "D," "E," and "F." I think it was all apart of 1 big project, but done in stages.
All 3 of these elevators have 2-speed doors and hospital-sized cabs, which is a bit interesting. But the far right car doubles as the service, and serves several more floors/landings from the other 2. The left and middle cars only serve 2; 3-7. The right car also serves 1, 2R, M, P8, and P9. They've since locked the 6th floor, the library landings ("2R" and "M"), and I assume the penthouse floors too. I think they've since done some re-labeling on the lower floors, and I know "P1" and "P2" have since been changed to "P8" and "P9."
I believe these are also Gen3 since these are from early-2022, but not sure since there's no newly installed non-Compass elevators here.
The main cars were Westinghouse Selectomatic modernized by Schindler with Miconic in 1995 before getting Compass in 2021. There's also a rare 60s Montgomery black button freight in the basement here. All of these are in the original wing.
