This is probably one of the unit dayrooms. The lockers were used for storage of items used by staff and patients.(board games, cards, some snacks, puzzles.) Each shift would have their own locker, in addition to one or more that was used by all.

The only pool that I recall was located in the York Wood Center, which was on the northwest corner of the grounds, and was used for juveniles.

Some of those tire tracks were also made by patrol vehicles from the forensic center. We patrolled the grounds until the demolition crews finally took over. A very spooky place at night. Inside the buildings was a multitude of various noises. Dripping water, animal movement, birds, wind blowing loose materials. You always felt like something was about to grab you from behind.

Rooms with the dutch doors usually consisted of either the ward office, medication room, and or the treatment room. They weren't always the same on each unit.
