Not all of them have no windows.
I'd tag it as what it is, building=telephone_exchange. That would be suitable with or without windows.

I have added a section on them to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:WikiProject_Telecoms#Telephone_Exchange

You can attempt to contact the original mapper .. they may well point to the OSM wiki telecoms page, that looks to be the source of it.

Hi,
The telecom tagging scheme (on wiki) definitely had a tag for telephone exchanges.
For a building without windows, I’d suggest building=service

Hi!

Path 374362033 ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/374362033 ) is a building with no windows in Calle del Fúcar, 28014 Madrid that contains a phone exchange (originally it was a gigantic relay system for the phones of the area, now probably replaced with smaller computers and microcontrollers).
It is tagged as "building=central office", a non-standard tag.
I wonder if tagging it as "building=industrial" would be better, despite of the whole neigbourhood being officially classified as "tertiary use" (non-industrial).

Or maybe "building=yes" would be just enough. Path 28996211 ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28996211 ) is a similar phone exchange building, near Delicias, Madrid, enough old to be announced as "phone booths that way" on the street. It is tagged as "building=yes".

Do you think I should change the tag on 374362033?

Yours,
José Moya
Madrid
