I also thought there possibly was elevator equipment in that SOUTH [cardinal point], "Satanic" Temple dome -- but, then, I analyzed the debris after the two hurricanes removed the dome -- and, then the entire South and East Temple structures.
There was no evidence of an elevator mechanism on the South temple roof (or under the dome).
In fact, those "temples" weren't places of "worship" or "ritual" at all. They were far too small inside. They were merely fancy covers for staircases going down into the underground complex:
IMO, the primary underground complex was beneath the Tennis Court, beneath the island's highest, central hill.

Less high tech than I suspected, particularly since Hawking was a guest; I suppose he used the lower "servant's entrance." Well, the low-budget skiamorphing of the entryways makes sense now- why spend more on what is essentially just a replaceable tin shanty covering a stairway entrance?
