You can make a few phone calls. Maintenance is not avoidable until boston dynamics figure out how to clean the toilets at least.

Probably also grid connections like size of transformers and if there is prominent number of trucks going in and out.

The relative lack of trucks is what would identify the data center. The only other buildings like that are warehouses, which have a lot more trucks going in and out relatively speaking.

In rural areas maybe. But plenty of data centres are in cities too. And European cities are not generally known for an abundance of parking spaces.
