The 13th floor mystery

One of the biggest mysteries of One Canada Square is knowning if there is a 13th floor.

Non-believers

One belief is that there is no 13th floor in the tower, and it is numbered 14 instead (in line with a common building superstition). According to this theory, the floor above the 12th floor is the 14th floor. If there was a extra floor, the lifts will take longer to travel between the neighboring floors, or accelerate, both of which maybe noticed by the riders. It would also be noticeable from the exterior, requiring either an extra row of windows or a conspicuous gap between rows. In many buildings in the U.S. and Canada, there is no thirteenth floor. ... The stall numbers at the Santa Anita Park. ...

Believers

However, others believe that the floor do exist. One belief is that the 13th floor is a maintenance floor that has physical plant. One Canada Square plant areas maybe in its basements (Levels B3 to M1) and above the 50th floor (Level M2), but this does not mean that there is not an extra maintenance floor that has not been officially declared, nor a floor made to look like offices. A physical plant or mechanical plant refers to the necessary infrastructure used in support of a given facility. ...

Miscellaneous

Construction strike

Construction of the tower was halted in Summer 1989, when the building workers went on strike.
