The problem with that is that the actual boiloff speed would be greater 
in the summer in a non-climate controled building than in a climate 
controled building (such as you're going to need for the offices 
anyway).  As well, the variation in boiloff speed would complicate the 
maintenance schedules, and the difficulty in reaching the storage 
facility would increase storage costs, both the shipping of the suspended 
patient and the shipping of materials such as liquid N2.
