It's built like a fortress and it's hard to tell which one is the building and which one is the parking garage. Must admit that the clock is cool, though.

What goes on in there?

(I'm referring to the building at Michigan and The Lodge across from MGM)

My guess from being in the business is that it contains their "hardened" data center (physical racks of servers, switches, and supporting infrastructure like standby power, cooling, and fire suppression systems.

I believe that floors 6-8 (which can be distinguished from the rest of the floors from the outside) are the physical computing and data center. The rest of the tower is office space, I believe.
