World News Service Building

The WNS Building is a location featured in the pen and paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020.

Overview
The WNS building, like Infocomp, is largely functional and restrained in design. WNS does not need to 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.

Security Level: 3

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