I'm not sure in the time it was set, but nowadays yes, but it will be so extremely costly to do it that way ( as Kevin point out the pressure is extreme, so the structures would need to be massive ) and unlike in the game, it would be very dark down there so all those windows would be wasted and work like mirrors..
And it would be very cold too, so the energy demands would be very high...
have you played the sequel btw
