According to him there was room for all the animals in the lower deck which had 33,750 square feet of floor space which could have been partitioned off into stalls, cages, and rooms. The second floor could have held the food in its 500,000 cubic feet of space. The third floor also contained 33,750 square feet making room for over 200 rooms, each about 12 feet square.

I heard or read something along those lines too. I believe that in the end we'll see that it wasn't so implausible.
