My apology for double post but when you mentioned the "original" indicator (above the doors), that black thing is an actually a message display like if doors are held too long, it'd say, "Please step out of doors." or stuff like that.

@WolfGuy100 Yeah... I've seen that too many times. That's why I live in University Commons :D

Ah, yes, I remembered these elevators when I was at RIT/NTID for college. These elevators are "famous" for breaking down a LOT.

That's one fast dorm elevator. The tallest dorms here (Clement/Greene/White) only have 200 FPM for 10 floors!

Thank god they put a protection thingy over the indicator so people can't scratch it up, and if they do, all they have to do is replace the protection thingy, not the entire indicator.
