According to Wikipedia, the Atlanta Civic Center was used to film sequences set 
at the IBID Lab in Lagos, MIT, and a location in Berlin.

See if this looks familiar: https://goo.gl/gSOC5I  (Google Streetview)

Wikipedia makes mention of the Science and Technology Museum of Atlanta having 
existed at the building immediately north of the Civic Center.  It had a ham 
station on site, W4WOW (info at 
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2011/11/w4wow-not-jwoww.html), but it appears to 
have gone dark (although the W4WOW call has been active since then).

Maybe someone local to Atlanta would have more information about whether that 
tower is still in use.

Since many of the outdoor "action" scenes in "Captain America:  The Winter 
Soldier" were filmed in Cleveland, it would be reasonable to assume that 
Cleveland was one of the location sites for "Civil War" as well.

However, the movie's "official sites" listings shows Atlanta as the only major 
continental US filming location.  Other locations show Puerto Rico, Iceland, 
Germany, and Brazil.

And of course, the background could have been "stock footage"
