# It's the MI5 building
if you weren't already aware

# Gadget:
A small specialized mechanical or electronic device; a contrivance.

MI5 HQ is hardly a gadget, its a big fucking robot, but not a gadget

# but the building
is equipped with gadgets

# but then it would be a series of gadgets
so enter them, not the whole building ;)

# but
the building would be a useless james bond gadget, as he wouldn't really be able to take it with him, since he's a secret agent, and since M would complain about being propelled through the air in 100 tonnes of aerodynamically unstable HQ. Therefore, i'd say it fits the frames of reference perfectly

# i disagree
its not a gadget, its a building fitted with gadgets

# I did say
"with SOME gadgets"
...
EDIT: Also, it is a bit rubbish. Hence rubbish gadgets compo.

# but a swiss army knife
is more than just a knife, it's a knife stuffed with other things, which makes it a gadget. i'd say that one could stretch the term gadget to include a building similarly stuffed with gadgets, particularly if the are working in harmony to significantly alter the structure and functionality of the building.
The fact that it couldn't conceivably be used would make it a useless James Bond gadget, but i see what you mean

# taken from taht link
2nd definition:
"a device that very useful for a particular job"

ergo anything used to do anything is a gadget, even the full stop key i'm about to depress.
