It was actually a niche in a hallway outside of the x-ray room, if I remember correctly.

With the breaker box over the seats like that it looks like an execution room.

Amazing shot o.o
and i agree Stacey. A desk for a mentally disabled person doesnt seem to belong in front of a breaker box. It seems dangerous.

Strange that they were in the hospital building. These desks were usually in Rockwell Hall, AKA the school building.
