The elevator that serves 2 and 3 are Schindler 300a MT

[@TapesNstuffS]

Nice building

[@patricknedz]

Thats because the main elevator bank area is so tall on the first floor floor that it goes higher than the second floor there for the next stop is the third floor. This isnt really a problem since most people would probably take the stairs since its only one floor up and they added an elevator for ADA reasons to access the second floor, there is not a lot of space one the second floor since the first floor is so tall. Those rooms are VERY nice and expensive.

[@isaac24]

Do you know when the elevators were put in?

[@patricknedz]

1971, the building was built between 1926-1932 but the original elevators were replaced with Westinghouse Selectomatic, those elevators were recently replaced in 2015 with Otis Compass Plus

its i believe the 1st or second largest educational buildings in the western hemisphere, H2P

[@patricknedz]

They might not be allowed to because it is historic and I think they have to be kept this way.

[@SamSitar]

from your video they have many interesting things. nationality rooms are very expressive. you have to go to 3 to reach 2?

[@SamSitar]

modernizing these elevators would be a HUGE mistake.

[@patricknedz]

sometimes its open, mot of the time its locked

[@OPG2711]

IS THIS PLACE FROM THE 50'S???

[@msj2]

No, it was built between 1926-1934 in stages.
