Mobility restored under the guidance Simone Krafft (rectifying the missteps of former department head), the Atrium lifts are constantly in motion as they are the only lifts that are used by every member those of approved blood status and priorities employed at the Ministry and visitors, even on the slowest of days you'll be hard pressed to find an empty lift which has helped traffic control and made lifts more easily accessible to personnel. These lifts will take you to any level in the Ministry with the exception of level ten. You'll have to hop off the lifts and take the stairs to reach the courtrooms. Keep in mind that the lifts move diagonally, horizontally, and a few other directions as well as vertically, so you'll need to hang on when riding.

With no benches in the vicinity, there are more wizards and witches than usual propped up against the walls and standing around waiting for a lift, along with extra prattle. Be careful when stepping on (or off) the lifts, and make sure to press the button that leads to your destined level, else you'll find yourself heading to the wrong department.
