Lifting Elevations Construction on our newest set, the Turbolift, began months ago with the basic structure of the walls. The wall panels were constructed and assembled in Cincinnati, Ohio by John Broughton Sr., our director of set construction.
When the wall panels were ready to be picked up, John Broughton, our executive producer, and Michael Bednar took a road trip from the D.C. area to his dad’s house to paint them and transport them back to Maryland. Once they got the panels home, Michael began the painstaking task of adding the familiar details in the hopes of creating a believable representation of a piece of Trek cannon.

This particular set will be an open filming set, not your standard enclosed phone booth type; It has plenty of room for not only the actors, but also a film crew to work in as well.
The molding was cut and painted and the handles began to take shape. With one more week left before filming Michael still had a few things to complete. As a final touch, buttons were applied and it was all looking great.

The completed pieces were set up the day before filming, but Michael wasn't happy with the windows. That night he created two new window boxes for the Turbolift. The next couple of shots do it justice.
