Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Cackovic why they just didn’t eliminate the vestibule; he said that the priests utilize the vestibule for changing into their robes. Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Cackovic why they need an elevator; Mr. Keller said that they need the elevator because it is required by code as vertical transport between the two floors.
