Bahria University needed vertical transport for a six-stop academic building at its Karachi campus, home to the Pakistan Maritime Science & Technology Park.
Around 2,000 students use the building. They move between floors all day, and every class changeover creates a sharp peak when many of them want a lift at the same moment. A single lift would leave queues at every landing.
The space available was one shared shaft, so any solution had to fit two lifts into it.
The university set a clear brief:
We installed two Fuji passenger elevators side by side in the same shaft, each on its own guide rails and serving all six stops.
The two cars are grouped as a duplex. A student presses one call button on the landing and the controller sends whichever car can answer first. Traffic is shared between both cars instead of piling up on one.
We used Fuji elevators with the latest technology. The two traction machines were lifted onto the roof by crane and mounted on steel beams in the machine room above the shaft.
Stainless steel cabins with bright LED ceiling panels, and a car operating panel with a digital floor display.
Bahria University now has two Fuji elevators working as a pair. Students call once and the best-placed car responds, which spreads class-change traffic across both cars and keeps waits short.

A duplex is two elevators controlled as one group. A single landing call is answered by whichever car can get there first, so passengers wait less and both lifts share the traffic.
Yes, if the shaft is wide enough for two cars and their guide rails. At Bahria University, Hub Elevator installed two Fuji elevators side by side in one shared shaft serving six stops.
Student traffic comes in sharp peaks at every class change. With duplex control, both cars work together to clear those peaks instead of one lift taking every call.
Two Fuji passenger elevators, supplied and installed by Hub Elevator.
