History[]
2010s - 2020s[]
This office building was the regional headquarters of Network 54 in Night City, and it usually saw a lot of AV movement from and to the rooftop landing pads. Due to many of the shows being taped live before studio audiences, several of the sound stages were open to the public, though tickets were usually required for admittance to these areas, and security was always heavy. There were also guided tours of non-proprietary recording and production facilities. The cafeteria in the lobby tended to draw large numbers of tourists, due to N54's stars sometimes eating there during filming breaks. Anyone who left the reception area was asked to produce a show ticket or valid guest pass. People who strayed from the well-designated audience areas were subjected to arrest.[3][2]
The Night City Holocaust blast of 2023 blew away most of the building's facade, badly damaging the whole structure.[1]
2030s - 2040s[]
By 2045, the building's bent skeletal ruins were still standing within the Hot Zone. Its uppermost floors, including some of the satellite dishes, were mostly intact, though the rooftop was not very safe and the landing pads were all gone.[1]
Layout[]
The N54 office building was 43 stories tall and despite its relatively stunted size, it was always visible to the public eye. Searchlights on each of the four rooftop corners helped with this, as did the continuous air traffic to and from the building, the mirrored walls, and the scintillating, red neon "54" plastered in fifty-foot digits near the top of each side of the building. The roof was entirely covered with AV-4 pads and heliports for the roving news teams. There was a subterranean parking lot and loading dock.
The reception area of the building was open to the public, and there were several facilities for public use, including a huge gift shop and boutique, screening rooms, an infirmary, a restaurant, and a cafeteria. Facilities closed-off to the public included a medical center, a rec-center, a second cafeteria, vehicular areas, several lounges, and housing for news teams. Access to non-public areas were tightly controlled, with security patrols and monitored 24/7.[3]
