Being that Marcus Hall is attached to the older Marston Hall, there isn't an elevator I could find here (looked around), so instead, we get to ride a rare Incline-Plane Man-Powered Elevator, from B&A, at aformentioned Marcus Hall, U-Mass Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts.
  It's a bottom-drive MPE, as you can plainly hear. The starts and stops are rough, like their mechanical counterparts. The ride itself, nice. Great view heading down.

NOTE: In you can't view annotations, U-Mass is wrong about the Du Bois Library being the World's tallest. It's the tallest in the United Startes.
