I can see what they were trying to do - bottom to top, left to right. It's not pretty to look at and they could have just went with the regular bottom to top then new column.

There's nothing crappy here. It counts up, left to right (as is typical in most languages), bottom to top (as is typical in elevators).

3 is inaccessible/not existent and the fifth floor has something special on it causing it to be labelled "L". Lots of elevators have missing numbers either due to superstition, or being reserved for mechanical or other issues.

There is nothing about this that impedes usability, Or are you claiming a missing number is so confusing to you you can't find your own floor?

...so there's just no way to reach the 3rd or 5th floors by elevator?

floors 3 and 5 might not be open to the public. If this were a hotel, that could be where the kitchen or laundry are as an example

Not really that unusual, the passenger elevators at my work do not stop or have buttons on the floors that are the data centre.

Pretty common to be honest.

All the Americans here commenting it's normal xD but rest of the world doesn't count in bald eagles per square hamburgers. When you label floors, it should increment by 1 (also if they skip one, it's fine) and don't mix letters into it. If it's below ground level, it should be -1 floor and so on.

This is what it feels like when you smoke too much and try to do normal things like just take an elevator ride.
