Could it be the facility each empire has in its warpgate?

You see it in the background over the hills in the GDC video somewhere... 1.40 into the video as Higby is flying around the NC Biolab you see it on the horizon as he is looking west.

Maybe...

asked the Higby on twitter a yes/no question, if this facility type existed in PS1?

We'll see if and how he answers

Clearly, this is a rather large landing platform for a spaceship.

I'd be inclined to say it was a Tech Plant also, if not exclusively for the fact that I remember seeing a galaxy taking off from inside a building in one of the magazine shots (I forget which) and such a building looks to be the only one designed that would fit a galaxy inside it.

It looks factoryish to me. I'm thinking tech plant.

Take a look at the flat pad at the top left. That pad could potentially be large enough to hold a Galaxy, if not at absolute least a Liberator. Now, if you remember the picture of the galaxy with the soldier crouched on front of it, you'd get an idea of the scale of this building.
