Well, since Jim has no comments, I'm posting over here.

What is up with those Lopata doors?! Those have confused me as long as I've been here. You've got these gigantic double doors, where each half of the door seems to be wider than a normal door. However, once you've used the doors to get a very large object into the building, you're stuck! Your only choice is to leave this hypothetical large object just inside the doors, because there is nowhere else to go with it. If it's large enough to really need those huge doors, then it's not going to fit in the elevator. And it's certainly not going to fit down the skinny hallway on your left. And it's not going to fit through the normal sized door in front of you (which I think only leads to a closet anyhow).

So. You've got this huge dock where trucks can drive up, carrying Things. And you've got these huge doors to get those Things into the building. And you've got an elevator, presumably to distribute Things easily throughout the building. The only problem is that there are many, many Things that will fit through the doors but not go into the elevator.

Why not just have smaller doors and quit getting people's hopes up?
