TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might’ve been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There’s a building in my city colloquially referred to as “the bunker” built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.
Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building?

My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I’m pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.

Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.

Sadly, I didn’t take one and I don’t live in NYC anymore.

Ah makes sense. Maybe I’ll ask one of my friends who live there. I heard it’s a cia surveillance building

Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?
