Inconsistency: internal volume "37 million cubic feet (1,000,000 m³)" — 37 million ft³ = 1.05 million m³, not 1.00 million m³
An interior statistics statement gives the internal volume of the building as 37 million cubic feet (1,000,000 m³). The cubic-feet-to-cubic-metres conversion is inconsistent.
Verification:
37,000,000 ft³ × 0.0283168 m³/ft³ = 1,047,722 m³ ≈ 1.05 × 106 m³ (not 1.00 × 106 m³)
Conversely, 1,000,000 m³ ÷ 0.0283168 = 35,314,667 ft³ ≈ 35.3 million ft³ (not 37 million ft³)
The two values differ by approximately 4.8%. The correct pair is either 37 million ft³ (1.05 million m³) or 35.3 million ft³ (1.00 million m³).
