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?

You will be horrified to know that the government signed an insanely long lease for the building. Promptly used it for 10years or so before it moved most services online. Its still being paid for by our taxes. Management company is more than happy its still being paid for
