If it wasn't for the brass, I would've skipped this. While a basic TK, the brass and the cab design adds a lot of character!

Despite being less disgusting, these don't run as good. At least there is two of them and not one like the other side.

I have no clue what these were, but they were modded by TK in the Late 2010's with a tasteless cab redesign and SlopFusion shit. This terrible mod is an insult to this historic 1920's building (as well as the New Asswalls in the restrooms).

This elevator was the one I wanted to check out when I went to look around this campus. I thought this was gonna be a bit harder to get to, but I did a loophole with the stairs and it was easier than I thought. I was expecting a standard Otis Black Button install, but man, I was not expecting a SWING DOOR one! This elevator is nothing short of amazing! It runs fantastically, all the fixtures are original, you can slightly see through the shaft, and even the In Use Lights work! It is a shame that it has a standard sliding door on the inside instead of a gate, but that is a stupid nitpick, because this elevator is truly epic and easily the best elevator on the campus!

This is a strange one. It is mostly original besides some buttons being replaced with CA Code PTL Performer. Not the greatest running elevator, though this building was being vacated at the time of filming this. I like the bell though.

This is a neat and charming little elevator with EPCO Circleline. The COP reminds me of that one Southeastern Westbrook that used to be at Fidelity Prof Building before it got Shitlered HellExcessed in 2021. A neat little elevator, but leveling up is a little rough. This was probably the most risky elevator to film here.

Oh boy, yet another TK Vertical Express. This one is one of the latest TK's here on campus and sports New Traditional Buttons. It also has that cool generic Dot Matrix Indicator! It runs well, but a few buttons are on the verge of being replaced (sturdy buttons, my ass). It is interesting to see the Dover Style Dot Matrix indicator on the outside of the 1st Floor considering it was eradicated by the end of 2012.

Another TK Vertical Express. I believe, like the other one, these used to have older MAD BS Classic with the Dogshit Sticky Contacts. They look to be replaced with the newer style BS Classic, aka garbage replaced with garbage. This one is a lot more beaten up, but seems to run better than the last TK VE in the previous video. Still boring as heck.

Here is an interesting TK Vertical Express install. This has early MAD BS Classic with the older contacts, and they press like shit. It's so sticky. The elevator runs rough as well. It is interesting to see both the TK VR and the Traditional Lanterns used on the same elevator.

It wouldn't be a college campus without an Impulse. Jokes aside, it runs fine, but it isn't anything to note otherwise besides the bumper.

Ignore what I've said towards the end, this Gen2 is original to this particular building. I got it confused with another building, the Ferguson Math & Science building, which can you blame me? It's pretty confusing and stupid to have 2 different buildings both named Ferguson. While this elevator is very uninteresting, it runs pretty smooth!

A strange "leftover" install tested in 2009. This was likely put in Late 2007/Early 2008 at the latest as TK's New Traditional started to replace the Dover Style Traditional by Late 2007. Basic install.

Here are two Otis Tractions, on seperate ends of the building. There is a hospital sized elevator in the back and a passenger style elevator in the front. This makes these, especially the front one, very inefficient and busy. Why not just put them together in the same set instead of having 2 different seperate sets? Kinda dumb building design regarding the elevator set up. Minus some slight vibrations, both elevators run well.

This replaced an Old Otis Traction from 1966 around Circa 2004-2005. There is no updated information about this elevator and still has the old (and outdated) information from the original Otis Install. A downgrade for sure as it's now a Hydraulic and runs like crap.

For those wondering why I started in the elevator, they do not allow photography in the museum. Anyways, this elevator has a weird design clash of shiny and new, as well some mix of old and industrial. While it makes for an interesting cab, these design elements don't clash well together.

This is a random office building with an elevator. This is a standard TK Vertical Express install with MAD Atoll Buttons. A very basic cab but seems to run fine. Kinda wish a regular TK was installed here so we could've had a Signa4/Atoll Install, but still better than nothing. FUN FACT: Despite being 5 years old, it is still not listed in the overall records for Buncombe County, nor has a testing date.

This is the only set of elevators in this large complex, yes I'm serious. A complex with 2 T Shapes combined together and this is the only set. This is a pretty controversial apartment complex with a lot of design flaws and a rushed construction history, so that doesn't really surprise me. But still, it's stupid on the apartment side of things as this set will get wore down a lot faster. Regardless, this is my 3rd set of Evolutions (the 2nd set I've ever filmed is coming next month)! These have been beaten up a little bit in ride quality, but still run fine for what they are, only with a slight bit of swaying.

Here we got a mix of Dover VR and Traditional Fixtures. Dover VR Buttons, but with Traditional Lanterns and even Wedge Floor Indicators! This runs well and operates on relays despite being a 1993 install when DMC was more common. At least it somewhat saves it from the BS "dMc oBsOlETe" campaign.

There are 3 parking garages here on campus and this one came later in 2003. It sports Dover VR like the other 2 garages did. Sadly, the other 2 garages which had Dover SPF's with VR were recently ruined by Delaware Elevators with some more awful $5 Innovation Mods (I did not film any of them, but Sirens and Elevators filmed at least one of them).
