Ivory Tower

This article specifically refers to the Science Council headquarters and administration building on Pluribus Unum. For the origin of the term see Ivory tower.

The 5000 meter building known as the Ivory Tower besides serving as headquarters for the Science Council, also was the headquarters and major research center for most of the departments within the Science Council. On the 299th floor is located the headquarters and administration for Work Group Olumpus.

That changed starting around 4000, when several of the largest departments received a Super Focus system (SFS). Where not just a planet but an entire system is focused on one subject or one theme. There are Super Focus Systems for Medicine (Med Central), Astrophysics (Glapurius system), Xeno Tech research (Orgus), Biology and others

These departments still maintain a presence in the Ivory Tower, but it's much reduced compared to what they originally had.
