Excerpt from Design for an Office Building Ease of Access: Almost all access depends upon eleva tors and they must be placed so as to be reached directly from the street and only a few steps above or below the level of the sidewalk. Very beautiful entrances may be effected by having steps leading up to the door, but the public should not be made to climb many steps. All the elevators should be grouped and so placed that they can all be seen from the middle of the Space devoted to them, so that the first car may be taken by any person waiting. This arrangement is even better than having two group of elevators near the ends of the building. Locate elevators so that they will bring the public within equal distances of the extreme offices, even if those entering the building must walk a distance to get to the elevators. Although it would be saving in travel to have elevators near the entrance, it would take up valuable Space and if the tenant wanted an exceptionally large area it would be impossible to arrange for it.
