TK Elevator’s Innovation and Qualification Center (The IQC) — which includes the tallest elevator test tower in the United States — brings a national hub for innovation and talent to the heart of Atlanta’s emerging mixed-use development, The Battery.
The three-building complex featuring the IQC accommodates a diverse mix of users including local STEM students, business developers, corporate executives, customers, and employees. Soaring to 420 feet, the elevator test tower’s transparent skin and open ceilings invite the public to witness innovation at work. A display of the intricate machinery that actively powers the test tower adds to the enticing atmosphere. Fire-rated glass lines the elevator shaft of the ground floor lobby to showcase the technology behind TK’s elevators. Concrete and steel framing throughout the building lend a raw authenticity that speaks to the industrial power of the TKE brand.
