Turret

A fence surrounds most of the newer buildings on the property, and there are ambulances and a trailer in the parking lot. They probably do EMT training inside the buildings, I've seen this before.

This is one of the more interesting features, an old turret-like section of the hospital wards.

Out of curoisty, why would they perform EMT training inside old and abandoned buildings such as this?

As a retired EMT, I can say that I wished we had trained in facilities like this.
Often you will find specialized EMS training teams inside old buildings working things like Confined Space Rescue, and Rope Rescue Tenchiques.
Also you will find Search and Rescue Special Teams working in abandonned buildings learning how to safely walk and transverse precariously balanced things.
Buildings like these make for great training.

It really resembles the buildings in my hometown of Shanghai China, in the Szechuan Road District, filled with wonton soup restaurants, and electric trolley cars. Only thing missing from this pic is the trolley cables, and the wonton shops, and the hot summer haze.
