What are elevator wraps? Elevator wraps are graphic images that adhere to the outside (and sometimes the inside) of elevator doors. They are also referred to as “elevator door skins.” Sometimes the wraps are in the form of an advertisement.
Our new Musselman Library elevator wraps are custom made—all the images, from the lower level to the fourth level, are from our own Special Collections & College Archives. Here is what you will see on each floor:
