One building at Carnegie Mellon University has a main, ground-level 
entrance which puts you on the fifth floor. (The back side of the 
building, which is embedded in a steep hill, has a ground-level exit 
on the first floor. An adjacent, attached, older building uses 
entirely different floor numbering with the first floor at the higher 
ground level and a few sub-sub-basements beneath it.)
