Already been clarified by another poster that escalators will flank this on either side.

If that's the case, those must be Killer Stairs™

No, since those stairs shown are only for backup to the escalators and will be mostly unused. Killer Stairs™ are those that are foolishly meant to be the primary means of access to upper floors as part of a social engineering objective. If these were Killer Stairs™ there would be no escalators at all.
