The Seattle building had so much fiber running between floors that one elevator shaft was eliminated to make room. I believe this is the first time that I know of where people space in an office building has been replaced with electron (or photon) space.
(Amusingly, the Seattle offices had a simple $100 hub that connected three of the Alaska providers to each other. But that was probably all that was needed.)
