Otis Hydraulic Mezzanine Elevator at the Hearst Tower in Charlotte

Nice elevator. Turnstiles are no good. They belong in subway stations, not office buildings.

Nice elevator, and at least this is a holeless elevator.

Wow, very nice cab but Otis's holeless hydraulics go slow!! But it was very quiet but that fan ruined it again! I like their roped ones, they go faster. And the turnstile thing really sucks, I would want to have seen the main elevators here.

In 2004, the building didn't have turnstiles. It was WIDE open.

@escalatorgeek881 : Great example. For Westin Downtown Phoenix, I did the medium rise bank floors 11-18 and floors 2-10 & 20-26 are turnstiles.

@elevatorgeek762 Wait, turnstiles at a hotel?

[elevatorgeek762]

@escalatorgeek881 Mixed development: Office-Hotel-Parking Garage. There are no turnstiles at a hotel which is a Westin but the top office floors are behind turnstiles.

What is the ground floor?

The building is on a hill. The College level goes to the entrance from College St., and the Tryon level goes to the main elevators and the entrance from Tryon St. The Overstreet level goes to the Overstreet Mall which connects many buildings in Charlotte.
