If they originally wanted lifts that only stopped at every other floor,
they should have had two lifts capable of stopping at every floor, but
electronically arranged to only do every other one - thus allowing one
to be switched to cover every floor whenever the other was out of action.

Pointless. The saving is that there are not even doors on "unused"
landings.

Stupid putting elderly cripples in such accommodation.
I imagine most will be capable of walking down one flight of stairs
anyway.
