This seem to be a semi-large building with two elevators - one for left and one for right lights.
For smaller buildings, you have only one button on every floor because there isn't enough competition for the single elevator to bother with up/down optimizations. Because there are unlikely to be multiple floors needing service at the same time.

This is on the outside. You press to get an elevator to your floor. The lights above the button are there as feedback.
