			 This map was designed on a P90 with 32 megs of RAM so I don't know how it will perform on other machines, it is very detailed since it 
			 is a true place; I wanted to make it look as real as possible.  Designed as a cool dukematch level for me and my friends who are familiar 
			 with the building.  If you are a beginner and find it hard to navigate you may get squished by rotating doors, try strafing for better control.  :)
