Would any of you want another level to the Hawkins lab?

So this is a thing that I thought we should have had since the DLC first came out, it's another level to the Hawkins lab, I more so mean the one that they showed in the CG trailer with the demogorgon, Nancy and Steve, in the camera, I don't know I just thought it would be something super cool to have because the Hawkins lab is already an awesome map it would just be cool to have more of it especially another level, would any of you want another? Because I think the devs could do it and wouldn't be opposed to it. Thank you for reading

    They should instead work on the upstairs of the map. The upstairs is a death trap unless you have lithe or balanced landing.

    I'd actually prefer either an entirely different location set in Hawkins, or "Upside Down" versions of already existing Realms; which I'm incredibly surprised that the developers hadn't done for the release of that particular DLC.

    Just like The Nightmare brings the Survivors into the Dream World in any Realm, The Demogorgon should have brought the Survivors to the Upside Down version of every single Realm that it plays on. A little lazy, if not just unimaginative, of the developers to miss that very key feature for The Demogorgon.

    I believe the room you saw in the trailer was the entrance room to the building itself, since it's more furnished than the actual lab that we play in. At any rate, I feel an extra room to the Hawkins Institute would be cool, but the issue itself is getting to these different floors of the lab and how accessible it is.

    For example, a lot of Killers don't like maps that're REALLY BIG, since by the time you get to the farthest gen it's done... I feel the same scenario would happen here except vertically instead of horizontally. By this I mean it would take a long time to get to the top floor for whatever gens that're up there and than go to the bottom to defend those generators as well, the same issue applies to big maps like Mothers Dwelling or Thompson House.

    However, I feel it might work if there was only one set of stairs to each floor and possible a sort of "faster approach" like an elevator or something, but that's a bit of a stretch at that point. I'm not opposed to the idea though, it would be interested to see a map inside a building with 3 floors, making it work with the issue I stated above is the only problem.
