Building #03 “The Facility” 36 Queen Street Documents Enclosed Are Classified
Background & Contents Building #03, also known simply as “The Facility” works on creating a brighter future for society in todays’ modern culture. It is a one of its kind structure, being vastly different from Building #1 and Building #2. The nature of the building itself makes it unique to its surroundings also. The Facility utilises the existing building of 36 Queen Street, London to conceal and camouflage itself from the view of the public eye.
The Urban Explorer
The facility is constructed from a light weight steel sheet material. It is built around a void that is located behind the existing building, the facility being building within in secretly as the building was being refurbished. It is a building within a building, concealed so that the public will never know of its existence. The hub of the building is supported by a steel frame structure with floors placed in at every half level using metal grates, giving the facility six levels of space to work within. This is surrounded by the steel panels as a façade. This intention for this is to keep the building as secret as possible by reducing noise between the facility and the public office space in the existing building. Whist maintaining a secretive presence, the facility has been designated the task of reprogramming subjects that are delivered to its door. They are transferred through the main entrance, which is hidden away from the public view and transported into the hub of the building. Once they have entered, subjects are placed inside pod units which are contain in the building and put in a comatose state which they are remodelled into the model citizen that they should have been. The process can take varying amount of time; some patients completing treatment in 3-4 weeks but other have been known to take several months’ even years to complete the process. Staff are expected to monitor and maintain these pods while treatment is undergoing. The pods are selfsustaining; they take waste products from the subject and recycle them into water and nutrient which they can live off. A small take of resources is needed to keep the pod functional. These will last for one month before having to be changed.
Facility Associates Facility Layout
Once a patient has been deemed treated by the facility personnel, they are transferred though a transportation system, which taken them though an extended area of space between the floor of the office levels. This leads to a closed off elevator shaft which has been converted to facility use. Staff stationed there will take the patients and take them down into the basement of the building. The basement has a number of uses to the facility. Its primary use is to prepare patients who have been treated for release into the outside world. They will have to be given clothes and a new identity to which they can live by. These people are then take from the basement and removed from the facility. An additional use for the basement is to conduct research experiments upon patients who are resistant to the treatment. It is their job to find out what makes them so resistant and device ways to overcome it. The urban explorer is one of the facilities most common subjects. They are actively trying to expose the facility to the general public. It has been declared that all urban explorers are to be treated using a much more effective program. Explorers who undergo treatment have no recollection of past lives; they wipe all personality and memory. These individuals are taken from the building and put to work on projects aiding to the facilities benefit. This document presents information concerning the uses of the facility and its relation the existing building. It shows at what point the building is public space and which are facility owned. It documents information concerning the urban explorers and our benefactors, the people who are funding this project. Further in the document the construction of the building is highlighted and well as a number of interior shots of key locations. Welcome to the team, make we help to make a brighter future.

“We decided to do a bit of a risky climb, as S disappeared into the shadows behind me, i waited for the teenager across the road to get on his bus so i could follow. We caught our breath gave each other a high five and moved onto our first point of call.”
One of the more common sites that the urban explorer tends to visit; the abandoned industrial site is a prime location to catch the explorers unawares. These sites are often large and filled with large disused and possibly dangerous equipment. Precautions must be taken when tracking an explorer down. The facility uses these industrial sites for storage of goods working their way between different zones. The urban explorers cannot be allowed to expose the nature of our work.

Tobacco Dock “Tobacco Dock is a Grade I listed warehouse in London. It was constructed in approximately 1811 in the London Docklands area of east London and it served as a store for imported tobacco.”

Barking Power Station “The station stands alongside a series of live substations and the surrounding grounds are now used by shipping / storage companies and the Dagenham outdoor market. While exploring both buildings, we attempted to get down the cable tunnels.”
“Visited with Jess and Luke Take Pictures, was a very good day despite not getting into the oblivious after waiting awhile but we took the opportunity to photograph this mill.”
“Anyway I cracked on with my new camera and got some nice shots. I also bumped into Luke Takes Pictures and some other people he was with. And intosly0 gave me the needed backup when we visited the inhabited areas, as well as someone to talk to.”

“Visited with Gone, Millhouse and Nick UK as part of our Capital City rinse out. We arrived here after a fairly hairy experience the night before, filthy and exhausted. Our time schedule having gone slightly out the window and the local area had started waking up.”
“I made my way into the building finding each room to be of similar shapes and sizes. Many of the rooms I entered were disgusting at best with old clothes on the floor and beer cans everywhere. There was also pigeon poo everywhere on the floors and ladders.”
“After a rigid sleep in the car we headed for some food and eventually stood outside the gates of this place. We watched the security guard do his rounds, turns out he leaves the site to check the other side of the building.”

“Access was amusing, decided to climb in just as a police car drives passed, amazed how they didn't see me. Inside it is a lot bigger than it looks, comprising of two buildings merging into each other while extending to the canal that runs along the back.”
“It was one of Joseph Bazalgette’s sewage pumping stations built after the Great Stink of London in the Victorian age in an epic Byzantium design. Built in East London to deal with North London’s waste, it has a twin pumping station south of the River Thames.”

“Battersea Power Station was built in 1939. Then in 1953 work started on a second, mirror-image station which is built alongside the original station. In 1975 Station A shut down and B later in 1983. In 1986 Planning approval was given for an indoor theme park.”
“I came across this place ages ago, but only now have I finally got around to doing a full explore. It's not the most interesting place in the world, being composed mainly of large empty rooms, but it has a certain charm that is always found in buildings of this age.”
“After attempting access via a variety of different ways we finally cracked it. It is a vast place, some stripped but with a wealth of some cool features. Originally a brewery it finally ended its days as a distribution centre.”

“I was travelling light and so had no torch, no 'real' camera, gloves, etc. The joy of agility.... but I was shorn of my high res camera gear...not even a tripod for me tiny digicam. Swings and roundabouts as they say, but it helped me move shift my ass more quickly.”

Royal Victoria Dock “This is located in what used to be London Docks before it closed and was one of London's largest flour mills. Three mills stood on the nine acre site, The two left are the larger Spiller's Millennium Mill and the smaller Rank Premier mill.”
So without further ado, I got my backside into gear early one Saturday morning and hightailed it down there.”

“Explored here twice and the pictures are from both explores. We only found access on to the roof on the second explore. There was loads of stuff left behind from workers including many tools that I wouldn't want druggies to get there hands on. ”

“Returning from watching blocks of flats being blown up in Leytonstone, I thought that it might be 'doable', being a Sunday, but the demo men were round the back! Managed to get these pics, before another guy and myself were told to f*ck off!”
Harold Wood “We went yesterday which was cold and ended up getting caught in a hail shower as we were attempting to leave which is never a pleasant experience! We went here to get inspiration for and possibly use for an interactive game we're making for uni project.”

“Many lols were had with a fox after popping back up. Leaf has the picture which I'm itching to see!! As I flipped the lid open to get out, two guys looked at me from across the road. After an awkward silence, I nodded and said "...err, survery!" and out popped the three amigos!”
Underground sites are used by the facility to pass sensitive information between different units and compounds. An urban explorer who knows what he or she is doing will be able to find these documents without much trouble. The facility has designated personnel to set up explorers who visit underground sites for this very reason. Information will be plants clearly in view, drawing any explorer in. Captures explorers will be transferred to the facility for immediate treatment and quarantine.

Clapham North Shelter “It was a nice, quick walk around. And even though I was incredibly impressed with the scale of the complex it did get a bit repetitive towards the end. I was traveling light so all of these shots are hand held unfortunately, shooting at ISO infinity.”

Brunel Tunnel
“The building, constructed during the late Victorian period, was designed to be a sort of giant refrigerator and was apparently the first cold store of it's type built in the UK. A fair amount of the infrastructure is still in place, such as the lifts and pipes.”
“West Norwood Cemetery is a 40-acre (160,000 m2) cemetery in West Norwood in the London Borough of Lambeth in London, England. It was also known as the South Metropolitan Cemetery.”
18
“The basement area is massive. I'm not entirely sure whether it extends underneath the whole footprint of the building, but from what we saw, I wouldn't be surprised. There have also been some excavations possibly for new pipework to be laid down.”
“Seems like most people have already been here and know the history so without wasting any time here are my photos from a visit last year. I really enjoyed this place as i ventured into the depth of the tunnel system. Enjoy the photographs.”
“The subway was open to the public until the late 1990s, when it was fenced off, only occasionally opening to the public. Interestingly, the fencing there now looks very new and fresh. It was used as an air raid shelter during WW2, which surprised me as it's rather shallow.”

“After operating during peak hours for more than 30 years, the final station closure announcement came on 4 January 1993. After operating only during peak hours for more than 30 years, the final station closure announcement came on 4 January 1993.”
“It was a nice day and Camden was pretty busy so we got a few strange looks as we paddled down the canal. There is currently work going on in the eastern horse tunnels. There was lighting and workers’ stuff down there...”

“Was quite interesting to see the architecture and what problems they encountered tunneling it (such as a roof collapse killing many when it flooded the tunnel). When it was first used (by foot) there used to be a shop in every arch along the tunnel.”

“After a bit of walking loops started to wonder if this actually was the egg. I wasn't sure but was fairly confident as it was in the right place and from what i remembered about the pictures roughly the right size. The only way to tell was to check the outfall.”
“Took us a good hour to find a way into due to most covers concreted over or just to damn heavy. Found our way in barrier'd up and off we went. Down three long ladder we emerged into another black and red split brick pipe roughly 6-7ft.”

North Woolwich “This tunnel runs under the Royal Docks in East London. It was built to stop the bottleneck of rail traffic going over the Connaught swing bridge. Nick Catford has some of his usual thorough detail on the Subbrit site here.”

Paddock
“It was on the Northern Line between Camden Town and Kentish Town. The surface building still exists on Kentish Town Road, close to the junction with Castle Road, and is currently a retail unit occupied by the Cash Converters chain.”

“I nearly didn't go when my mate said he was too ill to go. I thought it might just be a load of empty concrete rooms but was I ever wrong. There is a huge write up on sub brit here so I'll spare the details...”
South Kentish Town
Cabinet War Rooms “Okay not exactly UE but i found it interesting to look around at the original cabinet war rooms which the 'Paddock' bunker in Neasdon was built as a back up for. Various parts not open to the public can easily be seen by asking nicely when your there...”
Urban Explorers: View Points

“Unfortunately we were spotted on cctv going up this one - and we were joined by the City of London Police. Which was a shame, as we'd had our eye on this for a while, and the views were some of the best. This was the last in a night full of consitent captures.”
View points are a more dangerous location for facility personnel to secure. Explorers know these areas and will see an employee a long time before they see them. Facility personnel disguised as office workers on breaks and maintenance workers are positioned around these locations to spot any explorer wishing to search the sites. The facility uses these sites for observation purposes primarily but also are used for transmitting electronic information between units.

Kings Reach Tower “This isn't the highest rooftop I've had the pleasure of standing on, but at 31 stories it's definitely one of the best. This was visited during the Summer. I decided to not write a full report on this due to the amount already on here.”
6
Temple Court “I enjoyed it up there, leisurely snapping away from the counterweights and negotiating the structure without any of the trepidation that blighted my earliest adventures in the high stuff... apart from the crow's nest.”
“Had a bit of a fail else where with Frink, Charlie and Andrewb so remembered this was nearby and felt it worthy of a visit....... after putting it off for over a year. It's not a bad rooftop, albeit it being a tad windy this time of year.”
“St George Wharf Tower, also known as the The Tower, is going to be a residential skyscraper. When finished it will be 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, making it the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom.”

“A luxury 2&3 room apartment complex going up behind the Tate Modern. Originally I wasn't going to bother doing this one, as I thought the views would be too similair to the KRT, but since we were passing through we thought it'd be rude not to. And actually I'm glad I did.”

“A chilled explore ending with a mutual desire for marshmellows to drop on unsuspecting passers by below. Quite surprised by the views as it doesn't feel that high but the surroundings are still something to be amazed by.”
“For those unaware, this is the tallest building in a cluster of 3 similarlydesigned appartment blocks behind Tate Modern on the south bank; 26-odd storeys of fun and freshly-plastered walls and floor-to-ceiling picture windows.” 11
“Took some courage but in the end went for it and took a running jump at the fence! A loud clang and some anti climb paint covered trousers later I was inside and went straight upThe building itself was generic being rennovated and was completely stripped.”

“Like most people, I've had a bit of a fascination with these ever since childhood and wanted to stand on top of one as it went up and down. Despite climbing a 'live' spiral one to do just that in my early teens, and getting caught halfway up the first ladder.”
“Not much to say apart from me, OliverGT and Analepsis headed up this crane. Had a clear night which is always an added bonus when one ventures up tall thing. Pleased with the outcome of photographs.”

“So I got a day off from work today. Stratford had the store that I was looking for, however, they did tell me it was going to take an hour or so for the process to be completed. So, in the time I had to kill, I decided to have a quick go at Dennison Point.”

“After checking Google maps, everything seemed to be in place. Turning up for a recce however, I noticed things had changed: the building was obviously under-going refurbishment, and an easy route up had been created for the workers.”
15
“The site was well secured and monitored and after doing a quick recce earlier we knew it was going to be hard. We’d heard that workers could be in 24/7 and with work going on outside London Bridge Station next door it was hard to distinguish what was going on.”

Cuff Point “Cuff Point is a 15 story (40m) tower block in Tower Hamlets, containing 55 flats and sits just on the edge of Old Street. So naturally it has some half decent views of London's skyline. Visited a couple of times and with the usual suspects.”
Tracking the Explorers The facility has conducted a great amount of research into the movement patterns of a typical general explorer during an exploration visit. We have calculated a standard route that would be taken during an average visit. This information can be used to arrange the capture of explorers during a transitional period between sites. This is where they will be most vulnerable to our teams outside the facility.

Tools of the Trade Tools have been left at sites either after an explorer has fled the scene after attempted capture or after they were taken by a team back to the facility. These tools have been catalogued for analysis by facility staff. We have determined the type of items used by the explorers and how visible they are to people. Capture teams can use this information to identify urban explorers and seize them before they reach a target.
Item 01: Bolt Cutters Times used: 4 Visability: High Reason for use: Needed to gain access to restricted areas that have been cut off to the public. Tool was used to cut through wire fencing in order to get into a number of arteas of the site.
Item 02: Crowbar Times used: 6 Visability: Very High Reason for use: To open doors and windows that have been locked or are unable to be opened with just hands. Risky due to potential identification by people are a burglary, and potential involvement of police.
Item 03: Torch Times used: 9 Visability: Medium Reason for use: Used to see in dark corridors and when exploring at night. Problem with drawing attention to the explorers as light can be seen from a great distance if on a high building or a poorly lit area.
Item 04: Gloves Times used: 8 Visability: Low Reason for use: Used for climbing up walls and through broken windows. Essential for any explorer wanting to access abandoned buildings due to dangerous materials lying around.
Item 05: Camera Times used: 16 Visability: Low-Medium Reason for use: The most important part of the explorers equipment. Little risk in carrying this around aside from when taking photos on private property. Caution must be taken when accessing building that are still in use.
Item 06: Boots Times used: 17 Visability: Low Reason for use: Another piece of equipement related to safety more than exploration. Boots need to be worn in order to avoid debris in the spaces. Also used for scaling walls to access a particular space.
Item 07: Balaclava Times used: 4 Visability: Very High Reason for use: This is to conceal idenity when exploring these spaces. If explorers are seen on camera they are exposed to prossecution if caught. The use of a balaclava is used to hide a face in a high risk explore.
Facility Associates
Big Business Some of the most influential allies the facility has are those who own large corporations in the surround area. They have a lot to gain a much to lose if the facility were to be exposed to the general public. Many public demonstrations have taken place against these corporations and their CEO’s do not wish this to continue. It is the responsibility of the facility to make this a reality. 4 34

Facility Zoning and Circulation The Facility is hidden in a large void behind the original building. This void is located above a private car park for the office workers of the building. Entrance to the facility is granted through three different locations. The first location is granted though access of a service door on the ground floor located outside of the actual building. The second is a hidden passageway concealed in the toilets of each floor. This leads up a set of stairs and into the facility. The third is a simple ladder which leads from the security office to the first level of the main structure. One an employees has entered the facility space, they are able to travel around between floors without the possibility of alerting the office workers of their presence.

Floor Plans Basement Level
The elevator that is accessed through the first floor can be taken down into the basement level. This is the primary entrance into the laboratory area of the building. Subjects are taken from each floor and brought down here via the elevator covertly. Here they are transported through the corridors into the main research area. Subjects are monitored and are determined if they are ready to be released back into society here.
Scale 1:100
The public office space contains basic equipment for the workers. Simple tables and chairs provide break spaces during lunch periods. These spaces are positioned in such a way that workers on their breaks will not be able to hear any facility activity. The walls surrounding these break spaces are constructed of soundproofing panel walls to reduce sound.
Living space contained within the basement of the facility. This is the area in which subjets are transfers in order to be prepared for release into the outside world. Patients who are taken down into the basement are prepped by the facility workers, given basic items and clothing and then releaded back into society. Once released, patients do not remember any aspect of their time during the indoctrination process, they become the model citizen.
The back entrance to the facility is through the ground floor. This is hidden away from the public eye and cannot be accessed without a combination for the lock. These stairs can be used to gain access to each level of the facility but are blocked off to the public floors of the offices. The stairs are dimly lit as to not draw attention. The steps are padded to lessen the noises while workers move between floors.
The pod storage system contained within the basement. This area is used to store patients that are waiting to be transferred out of the facility. Also located in this space is a small laboratory space used to conduct experiments upon patients to ensure that the treatment proceeds as planned. The storage system is constructed through a circular steel structure in which can be rotated in order to access the additional pods of the storage.
The observation room is accessed through a locked door to the rear of the public office space. The door is constantly locked, marked with a maintenance sign. Access is granted through a combination lock that only administrators of the facility know. The long corridor the leads to the observation room follows the edge of the public office space, constructed with soundproofing and steel panels. The observation room of the facility is used by the facility staff to watch the experiments conducted within the basement level of the building. This room cannot be seen from within the basement level, the window connecting the two consist of one way glass. The observation space contains monitoring equipment and seating for members of staff wishing to view the experimentation process.
Floor Plans Ground Level Scale 1:100
An additional entrance to the facility is located in the toilets of this floor. The door is kept locked at all time and any facility personnel wishing to pass through this door must be wearing regulation overalls, disguising themselves as maintenance workers. This is to avoid suspicion when persons may disappear for hours at a time. Immediately proceeding after the door is a set of stairs which lead directly into the facility.
The security office is located on the ground floor of the building. It is access through a secret panel door roughly 10m from the office. The intention of this room is to monitor all public activity that passed through the reception area of the building. The office also contains a ladder which gives access to the main facility hub. Personnel work here 24 hours a day on 12 hours shifts. All activity must be catalogued and recorded.
In order for facility personnel to access the elevator areas, they must pass through a hidden panel wall concealed within a storage room located on the ground floor. This storage room is accessibly by all workers in the building, so extreme security measures must be taken when entering the facility areas. The door to the elevator must only stay open for 10 seconds at a time, and will not reopen for another 2 hours.
The reception area if the building is monitored by the security office on a 24 hour basis. Receptionists are hired by the facility from external sources. They are unaware of the true intention of the building. Cameras in the reception area take digital photographs of every person who enters the building. That individual is sent to the security offices and a profile is built up.
To access the security offices of the building, personnel must pass through concealed panel walls hidden in a small corridor which connects the reception and office. The doors must remain shut while the panels are open. These hidden doors are completely hidden to the office workers who assumer its just part of the building structure. Access to an addition corridor is also located here, used for storage for the facility.
The back entrance to the facility is through the ground floor. This is hidden away from the public eye and cannot be accessed without a combination for the lock. These stairs can be used to gain access to each level of the facility but are blocked off to the public floors of the offices. The stairs are dimly lit as to not draw attention. The steps are padded to lessen the noises while workers move between floors.
Each floor is open plan and contains large areas of desks provided to office workers. The computers are linked into the facility security network, meaning they are unable to access certain information that may be harmful the facility. All activity is monitored from the security and facility offices on a constant basis. The open plan room allows workers to be contained on each floor, which can easily be controlled by the facility personnel.

Subjects are transferred from the main facility structure, through the air spaces between each floor into the closed off elevator shaft. One facility personnel must be present on each floor at all time to deal with the flow of patients through this area. Subjects are kept in their pods, placed in the transportation system and transferred to the elevator area. Here they can be taken down into the basement for release back into society.
The main hub of the facility. Here the subjects are kept in pods in a coma like state in which they are indoctrinated into the perfect citizen. Facility staff constantly monitors each floor, which contains eleven pods each. The lower level gives access to the security office on the ground floor. Staff can enter through one of the concealed entrances and freely move through the facility without being seen or heard by office workers.
Each floor contains a simple meeting area for the workers. This are is located right next to the elevator which takes down patients to the basement level. Inconspicuous security cameras are hidden in objects in this room to avoid workers hearing anything they are not supposed to. While meetings are in process, no patients may be transferred via the elevator due to the noise that it makes.

A small kitchen area has been provided for the office workers in the public space. Here workers can cook food, and relax during break periods. This section has been put on the opposite side to the facility due to workers being more aware of their surrounding during breaks. Security staff monitors all staff while on breaks and reports an unusual movement to the facility personnel who can shut down equipment if necessary.

Pods are kept hanging on the southern facing wall of the facility structure. These pods are supply subjects with the necessary elements to live while being house within. It is facility personnel responsibility to maintain and monitor these pods while the subjects are undergoing treatment. Each floor contains eleven pods and at least four workers must be present at all times to ensure maximum security.

Managers’ offices are located in the south-western area of the building. Managers are unaware of the ongoings of the facility and are kept out of the loop concerning facility business. However, all managers attend “team building� meeting in which they are train how to inadvertently turn their workers into drones. The facility intents to keep all public workers ignorant to the true intention of the building and the managers help make this happen.

Facility Construction
Facility Hub Levels 1-6 1:100
The facility hub is located in the void behind the existing building. It is constructed from light weight steel beams and grate panels. The faรงade of the facility of consisted of a steel plate panelling which allows personnel to work in absolute secrecy. The panelling is designed to keep unauthorized workers out of the facility and to also keep the facility activities hidden from public knowledge. Each floor is a replica of the one below it and fits together as a modular construction. The facility prides function over form and that is why the steel beams have been left uncovered and exposed. There are no waste materials spent on the aesthetics of the building, the main priority being the research and treatment that is so important to us.

Interior Fixing Detail The interior faรงade of the facility is constructed from sheet metal attached to the nodes of the structure. Each panel is held in pairs and join onto additional fixing above and below. The sheet metal is designed to not be penetrated by sound or conventional tools accessibly by the public. The entirety of the facility is surrounded by this framework, which acts as a shell for personnel to operate behind. At points where the facility backs onto public office spaces, the faรงade is covered with standard plasterboard to hide it from view and to avoid any suspicion from office workers.

Floor and Wall Connection Attached to the existing building, the one way mirror is a vital part of the facility. The one way glass is used to view workers and visitors entering and leaving the building. Security personnel monitor all activity and relay it to the facility staff if need be. The connection between the existing building is flush as to not draw attention to the additional room behind the mirror. The wall is constructed from steel plate much like the rest of the facility but also covered in plasterboard to hide this from view.

Subject Transportation Section 1:50
Transportation of subjects through the facility is a vital part of the treatment process. Once it has been deemed by facility staff that a patient is ready for release back into society, they are transferred through the existing building to the closed off elevator shaft. The gaps between floors are used to transfer the patients from the facility hub to the elevator. Patients are placed in a unit which is attached to rollers allowing to be moved silently and efficiently. Personnel at the elevator are responsibly for unloading patients and transferring them down to the basement level for examination.

Facility Pod Units Elevation 1:20
The facility pods are some of the most advance structures that have been designed to this date. The aim of the pods is to contain and house subject while they are undergoing treatment designed by the facility. Once a subject is placed within, they are kept in a comatose state, while flashing images are forced into the brain using electrode connected to the patients head. An individual can be kept in these structures for up to six months at a time before having to be transferred to the research section of the facility building for examination.

Facility Pod Units Section 1:20
The construction of each pod begins with the shaping of an outer shell. This is created from sheet metal and designed to be self-sustainable for keeping the patient alive. The pods contain systems which feed water and other vital nutrients into the body while filtering out waste. Anything that can be recycled is done so and pumped back into the system. Pods are attached to the walls of the facility and may extend forward to be accessed by staff in need be. The units can be taken off the wall and transferred around the building with patients still inside. Soundproofing within the interior holding space repels any noise which may awaken patients. 10

Hidden Staircase Section 1:20
Located in the toilets of each floor, the hidden stairs case is constructed from light weight steel which can be extended and retracted to be hidden from view. Access to the staircase is through a maintenance door which resembles a storage room. The stairs are designed to be stored in a closet which can be closed and locked from public view. Facility personnel are able to access this closet and extend the stairs manually. Once ascending them, they much be retracted immediately and hidden from view.

Facility Interior
Basement Interior The basement of the facility is used for the preparation of subject from their pod units back into society. They are taken from the pods, examined and monitored for an extended period of time. Patients can be stored here if further investigation is required. The room at the rear consists of a space for patients to be clothed appropriately for release back into the outside world. The centre of the room contains a operation table and equipment. This is for facility based research which may be conducted on patients who are resistant to treatment in some form.

Facility Hub Interior Level 2 of the facility is a replica of the other floors, much like the rest of the hub area. Monitoring equipment is contained here as are essential supplies for the subjects such as oxygen tanks. Barrels of food supplements are located on this floor for insertion into the pod units to keep patients fully nourished. Access from the hidden staircase can also be seen here at the rear of the photo.
