Your attention to this process is appreciated.

Dear Students,
Elevators at NIS are for those who NEED them to move between floors. NOT those who can walk up and down stairs, but CHOOSE not to. Please walk up and down the stairs; it’s good for you!
Elevator FAQs
- Can I just ride it because I am feeling lazy? NO.
- What if I have a big group of lazy people? NO.
- Can I ride it with my injured friend who NEEDS it to move about campus? ONE person can travel with them. ONE.
- Are there CCTV cameras in the lifts? YES.
See you on the stairs!
