I'm glad this thing has some more sense in its room numbering....it's crazy how many buildings in the world follow the imperative that "4 is bad! 13 is unlucky!" with respects to labelling floors and units. That's wild that the elevator is what it is. What's the speed, I'm thinking of what it could be compared to the CN towers elevator (22 mph I think, maybe kph).
