The Layfield Tower and the missing 4th floor

Recently Peninsular Regional Medical Center, in Salisbury,announced in the Daily Times on a full page ad that they were moving into their new Layfield tower. What was unique was when they listed what facilities were on each floor they skipped the fourth floor. The reason given; "No 4th floor due to taller floor to ceiling heights". They than continued to list what was on the fifth floor. Now being a blogger you know I am not very smart but I think even I, when building a new building, would have changed the name of the fifth floor and called it the fourth floor. Perhaps someone out there knows the answer to this mystery.

Comments:
From PRMC's website, Tower Fact Sheet:

No 4th floor due to expanded floor sizes of the Layfield Tower. What would be considered the 4th Floor will actually be labeled the 5th Floor as it connects, via
walkway, with the existing 5th Floor of the South Tower Layfield Tower
 
it kind of reminds me of when the build huge buildings and re-label the 13th floor the 14th. The floors go from 11, 12, 14, 15.

It's not like it's any different, but it makes people feel better.

The Days Inn, in Seaford, which is maybe a year old, doesn't have a room 113 and 213. Rooms right next to each other on the second floor go from 211 to 215. (The evens are on the other side)


Anyway, it reminded me of that phenomenom.
