Riding the nice elevators at Batts Hall at UT Austin, and even though the big elevator is unique, the one with 3-doors is certainly one-of-a-kind. But also, the elevators do have nice motors and cabs, yet the old Otis elevator in Batts Hall was certainly a beautiful one indeed. And as with the north-south door connections, the north doors travel slightly higher than the south doors.
