I don't know which university/college has the tallest elevator, but the University of Massachusetts at Amherst has a library that is 25 stories tall. I used to run the stairs, up and down for exercise, not because I was claustrophobic.[/quote]
That's the library I'm referring to, actually. It's the tallest academic library in the world (though not the tallest library in the world). I think we've had the discussion before that we're both from Massachusetts even if just in passing.
