Welcome back to Appalachian State University, a college that is a huge ass city and generally impossible to film every elevator here without coming back multiple times. This is Round 2 of App State finds!

I knew this campus had Authentic Dover VR's from some videos I've watched, and I found both of them during the 2nd round!

Elevator 1 is in Smith-Wright Hall, it serves 3 Floors. While the fixtures and bell chime are king, the elevator itself could definitely use some fixing up in the running department, plus it levels REALLY slow.

Elevator 2 is in Chapell-Wilson Hall, it only serves 2 floors, but actually runs really good! It's a shame the Bell doesn't work though.

This is the last elevator vid from Round 2 of App State. Round 3 finds could be very possible as there is still a LOT to cover.
