This must have been a beautiful room at one time.

Right, could have been a source of inspiration for M.C. Escher.

Dylan, my grandfather was the engineer on this coal mine. His name was John Karcz. ( A German citizen who had relocated to Belgium to work on this site. His family was evacuated during the Battle of the Bulge). Did you happen to photograph the plaque which is on this site? My mother, John's daughter, visited a few years ago and took a few photographs to show us grandchildren. We had no idea that our grandfather was part of this amazing work. Would you be willing to share any of your photos with my family? I would love to frame one for my home. If you have any further information on this site, would you please share it with me? Thank you so much for posting your beautiful art, it has been very inspirational to me as I seek to put together pieces of my family heritage.

I'm not sure whether the red slices mean anything more than decoration. Such ornaments were indeed rather common in the 80's at least here in Germany. The schools I attended also had similar decorative elements on doors and even walls.
