It’s a shame these went out of fashion, obviously the normal lifts are quicker when travelling between a high number of floors, but these basically serve the same function as escalators with the advantage of taking up a much smaller space. I can imagine some horrific accidents happening with these though, particularly with drunk people and children so having four regular lifts instead is probably for the best when it comes to modern buildings.

There used to be one of these at Newcastle University in the 80s .. sadly, it has long gone no
Simple and efficient. But considered unsafe just because some people are too stupid...

Can anyone turn up and ride it?
If you university is open, yes.
