Yes, it is located just below the communication platform ring. It consists of 3 circular tracks attached to the communications ring supporting frame that will allow three window washing cranes ride on. three The window washing track is the main reason why it is imposible to have an outdoor observation deck.

I'd say it needs more space for mechanical, this building is self-contained, meaning that it has everything it needs inside the structure, as opposed to the twins that had a big amount of mechanical equipment around them. Add to the fact that it is ment to be one of the greenest and safest skyscraper in the world.
@NYSkyline I'll try to update the diagram
