My university had an elevator with a special three-button keypress that took you to a dark sub-basement full of asbestos warnings and terrifyingly dark that wasn't listed on the display.
- _squared_ 5y agoYou should have explored a bit, might be cake down there
- rognjen 5y agoI heard it's a lie
- exikyut 5y agoSo you'd hold down all 3 buttons at once, or press them in a specific sequence, or...? When you did this, did the floor indicator show anything different? And where (what country) was this?
- mmastrac 5y agoIt was three floor buttons at the same time. I cannot recall what the floor indicator said, but the elevator was quite old and might not have even had one. This was at the University of Calgary, engineering buildings (circa 2000)
- exikyut 5y agoInteresting! Thanks very much for the info. Now to find the other lifts out there with controllers from around the same time period that operate similarly... :)
- mmastrac 5y agoIIRC it felt like a late 70s/early 80s elevator. No manual controls, but the first style of automated elevators. The buildings were completed in the late 60s. I assume that these were probably installed at the beginning.
