Atlantis control tower

From SGCommand

The control tower in Atlantis is the central building of the Ancient city-ship and is said to be approximately 70 floors tall*. The central tower of Atlantis contains some of the most vital areas in the city, including the Gate room and the jumper bay, and a balcony outside the Gate room provides a great view of the city and surrounding landscape. Because the Stargate is housed in it the control tower is better armoured than the other areas of the city, and the city is programmed to prioritize the areas closer to the tower if the city and its inhabitants would be threatened in some way or if power was failing. Other important locations include the Commander's office, the conference room where the Lantean Council once met, the infirmary, and the holo room. During their first year, the Atlantis Expedition stayed within the area immediately surrounding the tower, but they have since expanded to other areas of the city. The control tower is also the place of Michael Kenmore's death. (ATL: "Rising", "Hide and Seek", "The Siege", "Sunday", "Adrift", "The Prodigal")
