Method for modernizing a building and structure with an elevator system constructed in a building
First Claim
1. A method for modernizing a building including converting a former stairwell of the building to enable an elevator shaft of an elevator system to be constructed in the former stairwell, the elevator shaft providing stepless access to specific floors of the building from an elevator car of the elevator system in the elevator shaft, and constructing a new staircase outside the former stairwell, the method comprising the steps of:
- removing the former staircase from the former stairwell at least in a region of the former stairwell extending over the specific floors; and
disposing access bridges next to the elevator shaft constructed in the former stairwell, thereby enabling access from the new staircase to the specific floors.

Abstract
In a method for modernizing a building, a former stairwell of the building is converted such that an elevator shaft of an elevator system to be constructed can be provided in the former stairwell. The elevator shaft is provided in the former stairwell of the building such that stepless access is facilitated to specific floors of the building from an elevator car of the elevator system, which car can be provided in the elevator shaft. A new staircase is constructed outside the former stairwell. In addition, a former staircase is removed from the former stairwell. Furthermore, access bridges are disposed next to the elevator shaft in the former stairwell, thereby enabling flush access from the new staircase to the specific floors.

15. A structure having an elevator system constructed in a building, comprising:
-
an elevator shaft of the elevator system being arranged in a converted former stairwell of the building and the elevator system being arranged to provide stepless access to specific floors of the building from an elevator car in the elevator shaft; a new staircase constructed outside the former stairwell; and a plurality of access bridges disposed next to the elevator shaft in the former stairwell that provide flush access from the new staircase to the specific floors via the access bridges.
