Neutral

Since there are high voltage power lines just to the west of the "Discovery Substation" and a BPA tower just to the north, I would say this is an electrical substation providing lots of power to a very needy data center. As for the "Transient Employee Dormitory Building," if you have ever been to the Dalles, you know that they are going to have to hire people who don't live there, but it is a really long way from Portland to be driving every day. They probably offer a place to sleep either for employees who will just be there for a short while, or are making it easier for those who would otherwise need to rent an apartment in the Dalles and go home on the weekends.
