We've got most things split across floors.  Three floors for
the mainframes, two (or maybe three) floors for the DASD, and
a large warehouse-sized room for the tape drives, tape silos,
and tape storage racks.

Of course, all the mainframe consoles are on one floor (One floor
to rule them all...)

Then we've got four generator buildings, but they handle mainframe
and midrange together.
