The Third Elevator

The area of our inquiry is the science wing, with its many rooms with just as many locks. We have all wondered what was behind the doors outside Ms. Lo’s classroom, and why they are always locked. The answers we got from the investigation were mainly just explanations of how there are chemicals needed to be refrigerated or hazardous objects. Though in one room there were less confident answers, some teachers haven’t even been in the room in general. The room in question is the “Fire panel” door, supposedly holding the systems for the fire alarms and other electronics, though suspiciously large for a simple electronic board. Let’s also take into consideration the considerable number of science teachers who teach other classes, who have full access to all of the locked rooms in the science wing. Let's answer both questions with one solution, there is a third elevator.

Now this answers the question of why there isn’t much animosity towards traveling up the different levels since in a simple press of a button you can arrive on another level in seconds. It answers the what's behind the locked rooms in the science classrooms question too, but there is still one question remaining. Why keep it a secret? Well there are a few simple answers, the teachers simply don’t want to have kids going in and out of staff assigned areas, or maybe it is a less used way of transportation since one has to reside closer to the science classroom for it to be useful. Maybe it’s even unsafe to go on and keeping it a secret was a way to eliminate the risks of some adventurous kids hurting themselves. All could be an acceptable answer, though, true to our nature, we do have one final question left unanswered. Why does the elevator’s placement suggest that it would lead to the social studies wing- specifically Mr.Vodery and Mr. Robertson classrooms?
