The Delta World Headquarters is actually a campus spread throughout many buildings. All real estate owned by Delta to include the admin buildings, training, OPS center, etc.
There are better images across the net. Cool thing too is the widget in the wroth iron fences. Hard to make out because it's forged throughout but you notice it if you look.

There are some of United's on google images. Its hard to see them all though since WHQ is in three separate places around the Chicago land area. The one in Elk Grove is the "heart" since dispatch and many other vital things are based there.
There is also one near ORD as well as the offices in downtown as posted.

And this is just on the side that you can see from the airport. On the opposite side of the street (pretty much behind these buildings) is where training and some other smaller offices are located.

Better views are on Bing. Go to where you want and then click the "Bird's eye". And the nice thing is you can rotate the view to see all sides by clicking on the little "circle arrows" on the left. It's only for the big cities and its a little to "close" for the big buildings but it's pretty good where it's available.

Does CO actually use all of that building for their ops, or does CO use a good part of it and lease out the rest to other businesses? What functions besides the obvious, (revenue, planning, PR etc) go on there?

I know CO doesn't use all of it, but many floors are occupied by CO. Systems Operations Coordination Center (SOCC) is there. Some of Chelsea Catering is there. They do BusinessFirst and First Class focus groups there. There is a company store in the lobby, big silver CO logos all over the place as well as Gold Continental Airlines signs and logos on the outside of the building.

Interesting, the logo on the roof is a projection, as is the blue color, and in the picture the building looks like it is square when it is not. It looks very nice at night.
Also can people give addresses or something that can be looked up on map sites? I like to go and check them out online. Thanks,

Most of them are, as expected, extremely ostentatious. Personally, I don't like it; I'd rather have a straightforward structure and save the money or put it toward something more deserving.
Notice the outdoor patios on either side of the main entrance. They provide a fantastic view of runway operations and the downtown skyline. Those patios have wet bars, too. Many a wild party has taken place there.
You can see a garage door at each sim bay. The small, crooked white section on the lower left was built to house the (very) old 737-200 simulator, which was originally housed in one of the main sim bays. I'm not sure if it's still there, though.
I remember walking through the room that contained the multitude of giant racks of computers and vacuum tubes that ran that sim. The computer room was the size of a large apartment. It was pretty impressive...I can't imaging having to move the thing.

I really miss working at CO's HQ during my internship. The building is amazing in that from EVERY different angle you look at it as you drive around down town or wherever else the building seems to adopt a completely different shape. From the south/north it looks like a a single tall octagonal tube. From yet another angle it actually gives the impression that it is flat. From the southeast it looks like it has a square front. And in fact, you don't realize that, until you see it from the air or in google earth, it is in fact shaped as an airfoil.
It's architect is a genius
Oh and by the way, they also own another building down the street, which I think is the bland rectangular one seen in the OP's picture above. These two and the Crown Plaza Hotel are interconnected by an overhead walkway, and Houston's "secret" underground tunnel network.

Executive, HR, finance, SOCC, Alliances, Coroporate Real Estate, Sales and Marketing, Some parts of Chelsea, and some parts of Express Jet have offices in the HQ on Smith Street. An oil/gas company moved in several floors in 2005. There are several law firms, accounting firms and other various companies who HQ out of the same building..
Tech Ops, Engineering, Reliabiltiy, purchasing, accounting, payroll, Quality, IT, and some other departments are located in the Jefferson building, down the street and around the corner.
Even Gordon Bethune still has an office in this building, separate from CO, last I heard, but it has been several years...

I will dig around in some old photos but while I was in the military we were staying at the old Delta training facility in Greenbriar, outside of Atlanta. It had been abandoned for some time and we moved in during the Olympics. No A/C, running water, etc. Was in that place for 2 months! UGH!

Also, I think that the brick building near the airport that is now AA's ground ops office used to be the Trans States HQ, but I could be wrong.

The sims for United are out in Denver at what we call DENTK. Its a gigantic building in Stapleton CO, it was connected to the old airport in its day, and houses all the flying "stuff" for United.
Before the sims where what they are today, there was a lot of touch and gos done at Stapleton. If you look at the wiki page for Stapleton, they actually caught a DC-8 doing touch and gos in the early 1970s.
-Photo off google images
The flight attendants have all the mockup, door trainers, on board services, etc in the building that United1 posted and that is in Elk Grove IL.
And just to add, the building on the left in United1's is where dispatch, ops, and all that is located. Its actually in the building connected to the building by that hallway and take up the entire third floor.
You actually get a great view of all the Elk Grove facilities about a minuted after departure on 32L/R, if still on or near runway heading.
Would have added this but for some reason I could not edit.

ASA was at 100 Hartsfield Center which is directly behind the Renaissance and across the street from Flight Safety International (also do their flight training there). There are now in the large hanger off of Toffie Terrace. Although they didn't actually own 100 Hartsfield Center, they did have a large sign on the top/ side of the building visible from the airport and another sign on ground level out in the lawn.

That's not really the style here like it is in much more densely urbanized places like Chicago or New York.
A huge number of the large corporations headquartered here (and there are lots) are based on sprawling corporate campuses away from the urban core. Not just AA, but also heavy-hitters like ExxonMobil, JCPenney, EDS, Frito-Lay, TI, etc.
So EV only uses half of the old EA hanger? Did everything move from the old location? I remember the SOC had a gret view of the field. Years back, I remember the DL guys were very jealous of EV view. In fact, two former CEO's were vocal about it meetings.

Yeah, the yellow squarish one. I think I posted incorrectly. I actually think that the sign says something like AA/Trans States Training Center.
Why do Aerospace Engineering students have to turn things in on time?
The former ASA headquarters facing west. The Renaissance hotel is to the left and the Delta HQ campus is behind the photographer. The current headquarters is behind the building.
Some pictures of the Delta GO campus taken from the Hartsfield Center. You can see part of the original office building to the right in the second picture. It is the smaller building with the slopped roof behind the larger office building. You can see part of the original Delta Air Lines neon sign.
No. EV has the entire hangar on long term lease from the City of Atlanta. The office space extends about one third of the building's width with the remainder being the actual hangar. The ground floor is solely for the hangar maintenance facilities. The lower bay to the left of the entrance has one floor of offices running the entire length and the higher bay has four upper floors with offices and training classrooms.
You were probably wondering why only part of the building is painted in light blue. The story as I heard it is that they found out that older (lower) part of the building has asbestos in the paint and requires additional work and cost to repaint. They should repaint the rest of the building in the next few months.
Quoting AvConsultant (Reply 94): I remember the SOC had a great view of the field. Years back, I remember the DL guys were very jealous of EV view.
Unfortunately, the view from the new SOC is not much better than Delta's nowadays.
