Maybe they realized that they installed it upside down and just turned the numbers around? lol

I'm more concerned about what happened to floors 3-12!!!

Seems better as a mystery.
Reminds me of the Fine Hall elevator prank, in which one or more enterprising students rearranged three floors in the tower by re-wiring the elevator. They also moved the directory information cards posted on each floor.
A professor would go to their door, try the key, have it not work, check the directory, see their name, and believe that they were on the right floor. Then they would go back down to the office, get an explanation, and go on with their day.

What's the score with the lower floors? Or is 12 floors considered the limit of walking...?

Not unusual to see that in a building with multiple elevator banks, each serving a different subset of floors.

Even more strange is that there's a 13th Floor!!!! Have you visited it?

I've seen a 13th floor in lots of places -- even my apartment building. Seems silly not to note it -- just means those on the 14th floor are really on the 13rd ;)

Exactly! I've never really understood why they "hide" the 13th floors.
