Most likely the elevator will be a hydraulic type, so the machine room where the electric pump is will be on the bottom floor or in the basement. Traction type elevators lifted by overhead cables where the machine room is at the top of the shaft are usually only used in buildings taller than 8-10 stories. So what floor the lab is on relative to the machine room could make a difference.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/vertical-circulation/elevatortypes.html" class="">https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/vertical-circulation/elevatortypes.html</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">best,</div><div class="">John</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

If anyone has relevant personal experiences to share (e.g. "my lab is 30 ft from an elevator motor and it's never been a problem"), ideas for how to tackle this (e.g. "here is a website to consult" or "here is an experiment to conduct"), thoughts on what sort of consultants we might hire to investigate it (electrical engineers? someone else?), or any other relevant thoughts/info, I'd love to hear it! <br class=""><br class="">Many thanks,<br class="">Jeremy<br class=""></div><br class=""><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline;float:none" class="">--<span class=""> </span></span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial" class=""><div class="gmail_signature" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div dir="ltr" class=""><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px" class=""><span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" class=""><span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" class=""><div style="margin:0px" class=""><div class="">Jeremy Wilmer, PhD</div><div class="">Assistant Professor of Psychology</div><div class="">Wellesley College, MA</div><div class=""><a href="http://academics.wellesley.edu/Psychology/Wilmer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" class="">http://academics.wellesley.edu/Psychology/Wilmer</a></div></div></span></span></span>Office: 781-283-3775</div></div></div>
