I was stuck in one of Old Main's elevators toward the end of the Fall 2019 semester (a rare day that one worked). When I used the internal call system to request help, I was told that I couldn't be in the elevator because it wasn't working. I explained I was in fact in the elevator, that it happened to open for me, but that it wouldn't move and wouldn't reopen the doors to let me out. I was in their for roughly ten minutes (not a terrible amount of time but a wasted one) when the person on the other end of the emergency line did something to release the doors. But how ridiculous is it that we have failing elevators all across this campus AND people who will insist you're not stuck in one because "it doesn't work," when you're asking for them to help you get out? The failure of WSU to maintain elevators, much less the buildings they're housed in, is completely unacceptable.
