Is that an Elevator running up the middle?

That it is.  Each of the 5 floors has an identical set of sliding elevator
doors. The elevator isn't functional (that is, there's no motor or anything
like that) but it can be moved from floor to floor.
What if ther was no physical elevator?  It could be a variable gravity shaft
that could be used for cargo or just slightly jumping to one's floor?  Just put
some ladder rungs or handholds etc.  If it were indeed on Earth's moon, you'd
only have to push 1/6th the wieght.


Heh. The technology could be anything you wanted it to be.  This elevator
probably is a gravity lift type, as there's nowhere in the roof to put the
pulleys necessary for a typical elevator cable style.  But I think the
typically space tourist would be a little disconcerted by a lack of floor in
their elevator, so they appreciate the extra protection (or perceived
protection) that an elevator cage affords them.
