That's why I had to describe physical and environmental requirements for next data center.
Door dimensions were one of the "must have" parameters.
Amazing, we talked to several companies interested in adaptation/development of the DC - literally NO ONE HAD IDEA about the requirements! They were even unaware such requirements should be defined and documented somehow.

BTW: I visited many data centers and saw only ONE without drawbacks. Or I'm just unaware of something ;-)
Of course there are different levels of importancy for the requirements.

And dimensions!  Late last year I was at a site that brought a new z15 into their datacenter.  Remotely, we all "thought" the doorway was tall enough but later I was told someone measured the doorway without taking into consideration the 1/2" metal top door jamb. Luckily that part could be removed with a few screws and the mainframe made it through.  I wasn't there at the time, but later they showed me scratch marks in the paint at the top of the doorway, made even with the jamb removed.  Push!!

I get it.  Like, "Yo mainframe so fat it requires floor loading calculations  be performed before it can enter the room."  ;-)

As a guy who has spent more than 30 years at both IBM and FSI building hybrid mainframes for customers that I could both lift and throw out of a window if I had a reason, I can say that there are certainly two t-shirt designs on that site that were ill conceived.  No thanks.
