Aspin Pharma, a pharmaceutical facility operating within a Pre-Engineered Building (PEB), required a vertical transportation solution that could be seamlessly integrated into their facility without relying on any existing structural walls or building attachments. The project called for a fully standalone, glass-enclosed elevator — a structure that would need to stand on its own foundations while complementing the clean, modern aesthetic of a pharmaceutical environment.
Hub Elevator was engaged to design, fabricate, and install a freestanding glass elevator structure within the PEB facility. This project presented a distinct engineering challenge: to create an elevator shaft and enclosure that required zero attachment to the surrounding building fabric, while meeting the operational, safety, and aesthetic requirements of the client.


The primary requirement from Aspin Pharma was straightforward but technically demanding — the elevator structure could not be attached to any part of the existing PEB building. Pre-engineered buildings have specific structural limitations; attaching heavy or laterally loaded structures to their frames can compromise the integrity of the building system. The client therefore required a completely independent elevator structure that would carry all its own loads without transferring any forces to the PEB framework.
In addition to the structural independence requirement, the client specified a glass enclosure to maintain an open, transparent appearance within the facility. The solution needed to meet all relevant safety and engineering standards while fitting within the spatial constraints of the existing PEB floor plan.
Hub Elevator engineered a fully self-supporting glass elevator structure that required no attachment to the existing Pre-Engineered Building (PEB).
Installing a standalone elevator inside an existing PEB required careful planning and precision.
The installation was carefully coordinated with the building construction schedule.
Total Duration: 4 Months
Hub Elevator delivered a fully operational standalone glass elevator that met every project requirement.
