elevator bank
Vertical transport hub
A cluster of elevators grouped together in a building, typically sharing a common waiting area and serving the same floors.
Large buildings often have multiple elevator banks, with different banks serving different floor ranges: The express elevators to floors 40-50 are in the north bank.
The term parallels other uses of bank meaning a row or group of similar items arranged together.
