maybe it was in the blueprints when the job was bid but hasnt been needed yet. or maybe thats where they store their coke and a tiny folding table and mirror.

Its either that, or it was once used and got abandoned. Either way I can't help but laugh at a meaningless box, even if it makes more sense to just abandon it than go through the effort of tearing it out

It seems to be some kind of production facility with machines standing in there. So maybe the Idea is to have electrical boxes on every pillar, so you'll have electricity available wherever you place the machines. If the production lines are changed regularly, you wouldn't want to rewire the entire building each time. A bit like these cubes hanging from the ceiling so you don't need to run extension cords through your workshop whenever you need power somewhere, but a bit more encapsulated.
