It looks like there are two holes, because its two floors in height, these are potential elevator stops just like every other level has, except they will be seldom used for maintenance only. I assume they will have to be covered up with a weatherproof door to not allow wind into the elevator shafts.
I know this will never happen, but if the blow through area could be enclosed with something like, say, chain link fencing, it would still retain its purpose, being transparent to the wind. An elevator stop here could allow a very basic but amazing outdoor observation area. Not for the public, but maybe an amenity for residents, or even hotel guests? And yeah chain link would look like shit, but something custom and awesome akin to fancy prison bars would do the trick. The elevator could simply refuse to stop there unless weather conditions are calm, and special permission was granted.
Again, its not going to happen, but that sure would be an amazing space.
