What is the purpose of Plant Room, GSM Room and MCC Room in hotels?

score:13

Accepted answer

Mostly guessing here, but:

  • "Plant" sometimes refers to the various equipment that's needed to keep the building running (air conditioning, ventilation, heating, water heaters, water pumps, backup generators, pumps for the pool, etc.)
  • As user brhans mentioned in the comments, "GSM Room" probably houses equipment for cell phone towers on top of the hotel (GSM is a cellphone technology)
  • Looking through the list of meanings for the "MCC" acronym, one that stands out is "Motor Control Center". Buildings sometimes have rooms on top that house the motors and related equipment for the building elevators, so this would be my guess, especially if this room is next to the elevator shafts.
