This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Is this inJapan? I see this a lot in Japan. Especially at train stations that weren’t originally designed for elevators.
@aeronmelon This is in a building in a factory in Belgium. The elevator is from 2001, and I believe that's when the building was build. I don't really know why they chose to do this. The right door does lead directly outside on the ground floor. That can be handy for bring in materials. The other floors have the door go directly in the big warehouse room. The left wall would have the stairwell behind it. Going directly from outside to warehouse floor does sound like a plausible explanation.
