It's a very cool building indeed. I did all the radio equipment for the facilities and security guys about 15 (and maybe closer to 20) years ago which you can't quite see in the enclosure in the middle where the air handling stuff is. For testing I spent most of the day touring the building with an analyser checking signal strengths and drinking excellent coffee.

Almost makes me want to pack engineering and get into insurance sales.

They wouldn't have got planning permission for that.

Like this working-class (and fairly low-rent) part of Glasgow? https://maps.app.goo.gl/zKKz5HuywNnKhGY78
