Help me make sense of how they modelled the interior of the Firehouse for Frozen Empire.
Specifically the 2nd floor (1st floor in UK).
It's been the same in GB1, GB2, GB:TVG, GB: SU and all other media.
But for Frozen Empire it looks like the interior is swapped 180 degrees. Some windows remain in place and others are moved.
This is facing towards the table in the Chinese takeaway scene in GB1 (I illustrated the same features with green circles):
Reality (fire pole next to the Ghostbusters dormitory door has been boarded up):

Ghostbusters II (1989)
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
The layout doesn't make sense. The stairs should be behind us and to the right. As opposed to straight ahead and to the left. Callie's bedroom (next to the arcade machines) should be a large dormitory where all the OGB's slept. Not a small bedroom like in FE. There should also be a large window looking into the bedroom (the window above the large red entrance of the Firehouse when seen from outside).

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleased (2022)
And this is the same hall but facing the other way. Towards the Dana interview area in GB1.

No angle of this appears in the film.

In universe, this large window should have been the one in the Ghostbusters bedroom (GB1, GB2), now Callie's room. I.e. the room next to the arcade machines. Seen from outside, the large window ABOVE the giant red firehouse door where the trucks drive in and out of. But for some reason they've put it at the other end of the floor, without a room surrounding it.

Eve Stewart, the production designer on Frozen Empire has confirmed that this is the 2nd floor (1st floor in UK) of the Firehouse.

Can someone help me make sense of this?
It looks to me like the stairs and all interiors are 180 degrees in the wrong place and the window elements don't match up with GB1, GB2, GB:TVG and GB:SU.
