Lee, At the University of Michigan we are in the midst of a large scale buildout. We currently are locating access points as close as possible to stairwells, but not in them because our fire marshall will not allow us to locate access points or antennas in the stairwells themselves. WRT elevators, our concern is that having an AP roaming from floor to floor through the building will wreak havoc on the system.
