I'm getting an area of 31.5. Most of which is the 160 up and down floors. What dimensions are you using for the cylinder? I'm using a radius of a half mile. even with a quarter mile I still get around 8 square miles of floor.

I get closer to your numbers if I use 16 levels instead of 160.

Also, we don't have a firm number on what percentage of the space was unused.
