Both have underdround parking structures. <br /><br />The Endless Quest book "Captive Planet" states that one of the upper floors of the PGC tower has a com center with booths for making subspace calls. There is a monorail station depicted on the map which is likely named "PGC". likely that there is two floors dedicated to communications: one for subspace calls and the other manages all other communications and possibly has a mainframe computer/server there<br /><br />Couple questions:<br /><br />1. how deep do the underground structures go? Pulling a number out of the air I'm guessing 3 levels of underground parking and a loading dock on the first level at least for PGC. I've seen one tall building in Boston with 4 or 5 levels of parking.<br /><br />2. How high are the towers? I imagine that they are twins and the same height but what would be a good hieght <br /><br />3. at what level should the connecting walkway be? Low, middle or high? <br /><br />Other considerations: the luxuray appartments are connected to PGC and built on the same property so I imagine that they do cater to PGC employees but perhaps not exclusively. Thus a delegate to the Council of Worlds might have an appartment here or a rich ship owner. No doubt the EVPs have penthouses for when they cant jet away to their villas. <br /><br />From doing catering deliveries to small buildings in Boston I can say that both buildings should have multiple elevators- a bank of elevators for normal usage and one to two service elevators (one is probably enough)<br />its common, in this day and age for contractors and delivery personnel to sign in with a dock master or security in these types of buildings, be issued a pass that states what floor they may access and the elevator attendant on the service elevator delivers them to that floor and takes their pass from them with they go back down the elevator. in the Frontier the elevator attendant will be a level 3 robot. he is perhaps not a security robot but under normal circumstances is able to call for security.
