Design and Engineering Features
The Genesis Opal overcame the installation challenges with a smart, compact design that fit neatly into Houston City Hall without requiring major renovations. Its smooth and quiet drive system allows daily operations and council meetings to continue undisturbed. The lift’s modern yet unobtrusive design complements the building’s historic architecture while delivering safe, ADA-compliant accessibility for staff, visitors, and community members.
