This project reminds me of one of the elevator models from a Fischertechnik industrial programme back in the 1970's. Pictures of it used to be included in the smaller educational constructor kits for children to aspire to. Unfortunately the pocket money never went that far...

After a bit of searching, I've managed to find some photos:

Unfortunately there isn't a good photo of the control logic, but you can just make out some of the logic control blocks lower left and you can see some hidden at each floor.

This YouTuber appears to have made a pretty good attempt at recreating it though and using some of the original logic control blocks of the time:
