This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

MODERATORS
I think building an elevator there is a better option.
Naturally there are also several elevators at the place.
But you must have other routes for exit that are easily available in the case of an emergency.
Also many people aren't especially fond of elevators (me included).
The stairway stays. The elevator could be built in the "hole"
Elevators need a decent amount of surrounding space for cabling and for the counterweight. That all needs to be completely touch-proofed so people don't lose hands.
The running rails etc. also have structural rigidity requirements. Bolting straight onto concrete slab works best and there's not enough concrete here.
Fire stairwells often can't have anything put on them that could risk starting a fire, elevators included.
