WTC7: how is the "core" constructed ?

What does the lower core of WTC7 look like? I know the building is built over a power substation. I can't find a diagram that makes more sense to me than this one but it says it's incomplete and I don't know what the yellow box labeled "core" tells me. From the text, it sounds like the substation structure carries a lot but not all of the weight.

What Kryptos said. Those diagrams are much better.
