I wonder if it's agreable to work in an office which is filled with fog and only has a limited number of light beams through that fog.

Good question. It makes you wonder what the electronics in that room think, as well.

Granted that's not the data center itself, it's in an adjacent human-friendly workspace, but even those computers can't be too wild about mist/smoke.

I'd be more worried about humidity, mold, radon etc.

I want my data stored there. Now the data can have as enjoyable a living and working environment as I have!

I wouldn't call it "super-designed".. they just repurposed an old, previously-designed space.

Reminds me of the caverns level from the old N64 Goldeneye game.

This is what happens when you let the tech staff design the data center ;-)

I bet they have awesome laser tag breaks.

You're in luck, there's a deep shelter tunnel complex under the heart of London, below the underground, up for sale right now, complete with generators, artesian well, room to sleep 8,000 people...
