Yep. 2 floors to every corridor for those who wish to do it. From an engineering standpoint, this wouldn’t be possible for 10 high floors if you wanted minifigs to stand in them.

I’m in agreement with you Mike. Lego tends to make things easier to use in multiples of 12 much more frequently than multiples of 10, so it should also make building new modules a bit easier. The only poeple who benefit from 10 high floors are those who work exclusively in X x X x 5 bricks anyway and those folks are tough to find.
