Circular building entry
Revolving doors are circular entrance doors with panels that rotate around a central axis, allowing people to enter and exit simultaneously while maintaining climate control.
The singular revolving door often describes situations where people cycle between related positions—especially between government jobs and the industries they regulate: the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms.
A place with high turnover is said to have a revolving door: This company has a revolving door—nobody stays longer than a year.
