VEC Elevator Service Outage to Cars 1 and 3, July 3
July 2, 2026
Elevator passenger cars 1 and 3 are out of service in the Vagelos Education Center on Thursday, July 2. Our team is actively assessing the situation and working to restore service as quickly as possible.
- During this time, expect longer-than-usual elevator wait times in these buildings.
- To help reduce elevator traffic and ensure access for those who need it, please use an alternate passenger elevator or consider taking the stairs if you’re able.
- If you need accessibility support, contact Public Safety at 212-305-8100.
We’ll share additional updates as the repairs progress. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Praveen Prakash, director of Facilities Engineering, at pp2895@cumc.columbia.edu.
