Stark Tower



Welcome to Stark Tower, the metropolitan hub of Stark Industries. Here you'll not only find the Stark operational offices, but the personal office of CEO and majority shareholder Tony Stark. The building houses Stark's business operations, an in-house research facility, and a small-scale production operation; the topmost structure houses Mr Stark's personal apartment.

Levels 1-3
These are called the "Expo levels". These levels are open to the public and give a snapshot into up-and-coming Stark projects. The third floor is devoted entirely to the 'best of the best' from the 2011 Stark Expo, and will remain unchanged until the next Expo in 2012.

Levels 4-15
These levels are business offices: accounting, human resources, legal, etcetera. Levels 16 and 17 house conference and meeting rooms. All office levels are accessible by appointment only.

Levels 18-39
Levels 18-35 house general research and development. Levels 36-39 are production floors, designated for small technology and high-tech weapons components. Though the tower itself is built to withstand the impact of a 10.0 magnitude earthquake, the R&D and production levels are additionally reinforced, with security measures in place to contain any type of unforseen accidents. A background check and level 3 clearance within the company is required to access all R&D and production levels.

Levels 40-49
These levels are designated as Restricted Access. Though the daily operations of these levels is not made public, it is speculated that they serve as R&D levels for "sensitive" technologies, private clients, and Mr Stark's personal projects. Access to levels 40-49 is restricted to those with level 6 clearance or by personal approval by Mr Stark.

Apartment
The building features an additional complex on the roof: Mr Stark's personal apartment, positioned directly beside the reinforced helicopter pad.

Level 42
The 42nd level of Stark Tower serves a special purpose: Heroes who are selected for Metro City are ported here, and Mr Stark has made arrangements for their orientation. The level has only one furnished room, an all-white foyer-esque space with a wide-screen display. Heroes will start there and receive their welcome and orientation message from JARVIS, Mr Stark's in-house AI. They will then be directed to the elevator, which will bring them directly to the first-level entryway.
