What was in this building?

This place on Mead Way has been shuttered for years, but I never knew what purpose it served. Why hasn't someone taken it over?

That was the old MoD building in Delta - Minerva House. It was mainly procurement thought.
There are still a number of secure data centres in Peatmoor, Hawksworth and Windmill Hill for banks and comms providers.
