Your local architect will tell you it depends upon many factors, including the type of building (hospital, apartments, offices?), where it is located, and how many people are going to be using it every day.
All schools don't need elevators. Some do, some don't.
According to The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed in 1991, only ground levels in buildings need to be wheel chair accessable. Therefore, buildings that do not have elevators are not required to have wheel chair lifts but need some sort of platform for the ground level.
Older elevators have an emergency button to contact the building engineer in the event of a malfunction. Newer ones have a phone you can use to call the building supervisor to tell him you're stuck and also an emergency button. The purpose is simply to alert the staff that you need assistance. Certain elevators have different functions to their emergency buttons. Some engage emergency brakes, some alert rescue/fire departments and some connect you with the maintenace department. Always check an elevator for emergency instructions.

YES
They are a nice luxury to have. They get you to higher and/or lower floor levels in a building without the need for steps. Elderly people who cannot climb a large amount of stairs can largely benefit from this.
No- you need an architect.

Your in luck! All you need to do is speak with a building contractor!
For anyone who has ever had to manage a large piece of commercial real estate, such as an office building or industrial building, the cost of hiring maintenance contractors can be expensive. To reduce the cost of maintenance many building managers have started hiring building engineers who handle all of the maintenance needs of the property. To become a building engineer no formal education is necessarily required, however having a technical background is beneficial in getting a job. To get a job as a building engineer you will need to have knowledge of how to maintain many complex systems including advanced and HVAC system, electrical system, and roofing systems. In some situations you may be in charge of maintaining elevators and security systems located on site.
it's the same as building the usual building. you'll need money and many lumbers to purchase it.
Technically you don't need a professional to build a deck on your house. You need a building permit and you need to feel safe with what you are doing. In order to build a deck, you need to be handy with tools. I suggest you get professional help.
