The Paternoster Lift at 60

The Paternoster Lift at 60

Description

The Arts Tower at the University of Sheffield turns 60, and its legendary paternoster lift—Guinness World Record holder with 38 carriages zipping across 19 floors—is still a campus icon. Students and visitors alike treat it like a rite of passage, with tales of professors stuck mid-ride and tea delivered through gaps. Even job seekers are amazed by its quirky charm. Despite renovations and a splashy 1966 opening complete with fountains and a moat (yes, wind tunnel drama included), the tower remains the UK’s tallest academic building and a vibrant hub for learning, creativity, and caffeine.
