Probably because the stacks at those facilities were stable...

Yeah as much as I could - the seclusion rooms here had no latch mechanism, and they all pushed away from the inside, so unless something blocks you from the outside there aren't any worries.

Actually, I remember my friend stood just outside the door and blocked it with his foot after I took this shot, getting me worried for a moment before I realized he was there playing a trick...

It was most likely brought over from a "canteen" type building on campus.

Yes, it was not a very well known place, although things might be different these days. The last time I saw it was in 2006 and it hadn't changed much at all in one year.

The basement and first floor are very dark, but the upper floors such as in this shot have a decent amount of natural light when the sun is up.

It was on the second floor, that's all I remember... the cabinets most likely held cigarettes, clothes, etc. There are some clothes hangars still on the bar behind the cage.

No, all the medical waste was sent to the incinerator.

Both; it is also being monitored for illegal scrapping.

Dividers, usually to section off areas of a day room or dormitory.

It's a keyhole for a big old ward key...

I can't remember...

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe they swiveled then sprang back into place once you got up. Perhaps this was to look neater, or to keep them out of the way if you needed to walk in the narrow space past them.

Yeah the stitching of the photographs isn't perfect, so the railing appears transparent in places.

As for the size of the place; things look pretty small from these back seats, so they probably made it as cramped as possible so everyone could see the procedure.

Thanks for the heads-up on the equipment AGC; Mr. Peart is an excellent drummer, although not my taste of music.
