So, what's the US convention on "Lower-ground floor" (LG)? In the UK, this is where there is something useful below the ground floor, e.g. an office lobby, a shopping area below ground level, etc. In many cases, there is a "basement" level below this.

I don't always pay much attention to this, but I think the U.S. analogue is "Lower level" (LL)--Pharos 20:22, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC).

- In some places (ie. Carleton University, which has an underground tunnel system) the below-ground level is called the first floor, the ground level the second floor, and so on. Carleton is something of a special case (being fairly sloped, so that sometimes the tunnels open onto higher floors, even the fourth in one case), but the same scheme exists elsewhere, as noted in the article. Thus there's actually yet another method shifted by one from the typical North American numbering. - toh 21:53, 2005 Feb 24 (UTC)

Open question

Are there any buildings without any numbered floors? --84.61.9.161 17:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

14th floor in China

seems that 14th floors also tend to be omitted in China
