High-touch surfaces are places that need to be disinfected regularly in order to avoid the spread of diseases. It has become common practice lately that you sanitize your hands immediately after touching high-touch surfaces, such as elevator buttons.
This elevator offers you another way to interact with elevator buttons: instead of having to press the buttons with your fingers, you can choose to press using your feet. Unlike regular elevators, this elevator has giant buttons that you can easily access using your feet.
I wonder where this elevator is.

Not the same elevator, but we have one at Miami University in the Shriver Center. You can see a couple of additional photos showing how it works from outside the elevator as well at the link.
