Schindler PORT Elevators - Shaw Centre, SG

Like Shaw House next door, the office elevators in the much older Shaw Centre are now being modernized with Schindler PORT (overlay mod). At time of filming, only Elevator C was undergoing mod while the rest were still untouched. However the floor buttons have been covered and a new destination display has been added.

All six elevators were originally installed in 1972 and, according to old newspaper articles about this building, had computerized controllers (maybe Aconic?). They probably had R-Series fixtures. In the 1990s they were modernized with new controllers and M-Series touch buttons, and remained so until around 2012/13 when they were refurbished with new interior and fixtures. Finally in 2022 they were given a second mod, this time with PORT destination dispatch. IMO the refurbished elevators look quite nice, wish they kept that after the mod. Also look how old the landing doors are, which are fortunately retained after the mod.

Annoyingly these elevators are always busy as not only they serve all floors but also the parking floors, thus resulted long waiting time. Elevators A to C are the only one that stop at 27.

• UPDATE (10 May 2023): Elevator C has finished the mod while Elevator B was the next to be modded.
