Escalator testing and maintenance
Escalators at Concordia are regularly tested and maintained to ensure they remain safe, reliable and compliant with provincial safety regulations.
During these periods, escalators are not safe for use. Walking on or tampering with an escalator that is under maintenance not only puts your safety at risk — it can also damage sensitive equipment, delay maintenance and compromise future operation.
What to expect during testing periods
- Signage and barricades will clearly indicate when escalators are out of service.
- Technicians may be on-site performing testing, calibration or component replacement.
- Testing periods may be brief or extended, depending on the issue and required parts.
How you can help
- Do not use escalators that are barricaded.
- Use the adjacent stairs or elevators as indicated.
