[edit] WTC was the first to use them?

Didn't the John Hancock Center use skylobbies first? Ouuplas 05:42, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


Ouuplas, I believe so. Otis elevators installed such system in Sears tower, too. There indeed are older structures with such system. But it's the media that's talking with such notion about WTC (always in a derogatory sense, like "it was first of a kind, not tested..."). Can someone find out more about this?

[edit] Edits and page move

I've added that the John Hancock Center was the first to use sky lobbies and I've cited a reference for it from the Otis website. A better reference should be found, probably in print. I've also moved this page to sky lobby because not only does it get many more google hits than skylobby, it is also the term used on the Otis website. Graham87 04:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've done some more reorganisation. What floors had sky lobbies in the John Hancock Center? I couldn't find this information online. Graham87 04:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
