For entertainment, like everywhere else. Jes' 'cos you're going through a rough time doesn't mean that entertainment is lost on you. :-)

When the heating and ventilation systems get shut off and water gets inside the tile edges start to curl. Winter freeze/thaw cycles then 'pull' the tiles right off glue that adheres them to the floor.

Are those a bunch of ceiling tiles that are missing or is that some sort of rigging for flying speakers from? This is a pretty nice looking theater for being in a hospital...

or seemily, an insect swarm from the earlier lab escaped and suprised the patients by riping through the screen. and onto the patients like the riples on the floor... the last thing they've seen.

What's with all the fire hydrants? There is five of them that I can see. Why so many, and they have all been expended.

Most British Mental Hospitals had main halls, which were often used as a dining area for more able patients.

This makes my heart drop a little... I am a in training to be a theatrical lighting designer, and theater is my life. It pains me to see a beautiful (albeit Small) space like this deterorate into ruin.
