Substance over style
Smart cities were going to fix everything – from gridlocked traffic and energy-inefficient buildings to lack of urban safety and waning quality of life. The vision was sleek.
How we live, work, and spend our leisure time is changing. Buildings are now expected to adapt and have the flexibility to accommodate these evolving needs. Schindler MetaCore enables buildings to be repurposed and their functionality to be reconfigured endlessly – significantly extending their lifespan. Schindler MetaCore creates flexible buildings by enabling one elevator group to deliver an easily adaptable, enhanced passenger experience for multiple building applications – delivering the flexibility required to make lifetime sustainability a reality.
With Schindler MetaCore, you breathe life back into empty or underutilized spaces, delivering tangible benefits for building owners, developers, urban populations, and the planet, including:
Reduce time, cost, and carbon emissions by avoiding demolition and reconstruction.
Update configurations and applications (e.g. residential, office, or hospitality) as needed, in real time, and at close to zero cost.
The in-car environment shifts seamlessly between passenger groups.
A retrofit can be daunting. Our Schindler Traffic Vision software simulates how repurposed buildings will perform in real life.
A flexible building evolves with requirements, staying useful for longer, achieving lifetime sustainability.
Incorporating the Schindler MetaCore flexibility into architectural planning means buildings can be designed for current and future applications.
By implementing Schindler MetaCore, the applications for which a building’s space is used can be changed and replaced like books on a bookshelf:
Repurposing of office buildings into multi-purpose spaces is a growing trend in a lot of big cities. It revitalizes underutilized structures and meets diverse community needs, fostering a more dynamic urban environment. With Schindler MetaCore the core of the building, the elevator shafts, do not need to be changed and can be programmed to serve to any new added building purpose – a new office floor, a kindergarten, fresh set of apartments or even a hotel!
