I've heard that buildings skip the fourth floor because the Chinese word for death and the number four is similar, hence bad luck. But I thought this happened mostly in Asia.

Oh man! That's interesting, and is probably the exact reason why there are no 4th floors at the university hospital. Maybe this is common in hospitals? I may go on a mission to others here in town to confirm.
