Honors South Residence Hall is supposed to be equipped with two working elevators. Now, with only one available, many of what were once simple aspects of resident life have become some of the most tedious, such as doing laundry. With having to navigate loads up and down the stairs, residents are missing the efficiency provided by both elevators.
