Take it up, hit the switch, and then dash over to the western lift. Ride it up, open the blue door, head north, and open the northern door again.

Jog to the blue door in the west, go up any of the rocky stairways, and head to the switch in the southeast. Hit it, go down the stairway, and enter the eastern tunnel.
