[[File:Trantor mir door.jpg|500px|thumb|Trantor Mir suite door]]
'''Trantor Mir''' is the suite at Escher House located directly above the [[Office]]. Its name is inspired by places in Isaac Asimov's [http://foundationseries.wikia.com/wiki/Home Foundation series], [http://foundationseries.wikia.com/wiki/Trantor Trantor] being the capital planet of the Galactic Empire.
A while ago we got an email from an Escher Alumni, Larry Jacobson explaining how the 9 Escher suites came to be named. To celebrate Escher and recent renovations, we will share one each day.
"Trantor Mir. This was a compromise between those who preferred Mir, which phonetically is the Russian word for peace, and Trantor, which is the planet at the 'center of the universe' in Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy."
