World News Service Building

The WNS Building is a location featured in the pen and paper RPG.

Overview
The WNS building, like Infocomp, is largely functional and restrained in design. WNS does not advertise itself through gaudiness, and maintains a certain amount of pride in its Old-World conservative air. The WNS tower is 63 stories tall, and surfaced in white stone with black windows. A windowless section circling the center floors of the building encompasses the recording and video studio floors. There is a relatively small, white-lit WNS logo on the upper left comer of each exterior wall. There are the usual AV-4 pads and heliports on the roof, plus parking and loading areas underground. All elevators and stairs are internal.

There are no public facilities in the WNS building except a small news-stand and company shop, where the latest news faxes and newsdeck downloads can be purchased with a morning cup of coffee. Employee facilities include screening rooms, a rec center, cafeteria, studios that can be checked out for personal use, and a surgical/trauma center.

Access to the WNS building is tightly controlled. Only the reception area and news-shop are open to the general public. There are guided tours of the non-sensitive areas, but they are escorted by security as well as tour guides. All areas are patrolled 24 hours a day.

The WNS Building is situated in Night City's Corporate Center sector of downtown, in the Corporate Plaza district.
