    The John Hancock Center in Chicago has a sky lobby on the 44th floor that serves as an intermediate transfer point for residents. Three express elevators bring residents from the ground lobby to the 44th floor sky lobby, where they can transfer to local elevators to access floors 45-92. The sky lobby contains amenities for residents and is not an intermediate stop like a typical sky lobby, as residents can also access floors above 44 directly from the ground lobby. The building uses an X-bracing structure in its design to improve stability and allow for open floor plans in its tall height.

    VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION

    SYSTEM
    Including two antennas, the John Hancock
    Centre has a height of 1,499 feet
    (457.2 m), making it the thirty-third
    tallest building in the world when
    measured to pinnacle height.
    The Observatory elevators of the John
    Hancock center, manufactured by Otis,
    travel 96 floors at a speed of 1,800 ft/min
    (20.5 mph).

    SKY LOBBY ELEVATOR SYSTEM


    In such multipurpose buildings, the elevator may involve transporting
    large groups of people from the street lobby to an upper lobby called a
    sky lobby or plaza which is an intermediate interchange floor where
    people can change from an express elevator that stops only at the sky
    lobby to a local elevator which stops at every floor within a segment of
    the building.
    The John Hancock Centres sky lobby on the 44th floor serves only the
    residential portion of the building that occupies floors 4592.
    Three express elevators run from the residential lobby on the ground
    floor to the 44th floor, with two of the elevators stopping at the parking
    garage's main level on floor 6.

    SKY LOBBY ELEVATOR SYSTEM LAYOUT

    SKY LOBBY ELEVATOR SYSTEM


    At floor 44, residents transfer to two banks of three elevators. One bank
    serves floors 4565 and the other serves 6592.
    Although all six elevators stop at floor 65, this floor is roughly the same
    layout as the residential floors immediately above and below it. It is not a sky
    lobby because residents can also board elevators to higher floors at floor 44.
    The Hancock's 44th floor sky lobby includes a pool, gym, dry cleaner,
    convenience store, about 700 mailboxes, two "party" rooms, a sitting area
    overlooking Lake Michigan, a small library, a refuse room, offices for the
    managers and a polling station for residents during elections.
    Floors above 92 are serviced by direct passenger elevators from the ground
    floor, by an emergency elevator from the ground floor, and by two freight
    elevators that run from floors 44 to 98.

    CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED


    The faade consists of 6 sections, each approximately 18
    storey high .
    It is defined by diagonal bracing tubes.
    In the top section, only half of the pattern is visible.
    The external cladding is made of anodized aluminum with
    tinted bronze glass and bronze colored aluminum window
    frames.
    The X-bracing allows for both higher performance from
    tall structures and the ability to open up the inside floor plan.
