The gas lines would be the two nozzles to each side (actually one may be gas and one vacuum) and the water faucets are the tall curved ones in the middle. Yes, there is a narrow trough underneath the faucets to drain any water that comes out/leaks. The knobs controlling these would be on the outside of the hood along the bottom edge (where you sit/stand) or lined up along the side. Considering this was a chemistry lab, this is most likely a fume hood rather than a biological isolation cabinet (which would be similar but found in the microbiology lab).

That could be an AC unit?
The suspense is killing me. . . any projection room. . equipment left behind?
I guess they didn't use the glue that held forever -
Seems like a cool place to have had a picnic lunch or just lounge in a chair reading.
Is that one of the body trays laying on the ground? Looks like someone was maybe trying to walk off with it? Thanks for the new photos, I come here every day hoping for a new gallery. If there isn't one, I just look over the older ones enjoying them a second and third time! Thank you for many, many hours of entertainment.

YAY, thanks Mr. Motts for your awesome galleries.
I stumbled upon a photo of this through one of my online adventures and I'm wondering if there is any high res photos of this old beauty before it collapsed. Preferably with the waterfalls in the photo. It's just too bad it's gone. What a neat looking construction and with the mix of entropy it was hauntingly beautiful.
I just took the Buffalo Central Terminal Tour over the weekend and everyone you speak to says Tony Fedele was breathing new life into the building. He had major vision and a huge building he loved so much he moved into it. There was barely any carpet anywhere so you can squash that. The City of Buffalo was struggling to get cash so they taxed the mother loving crap out of him until they forced him out. Then the City of Buffalo let us all down by letting the icon go. The new Board is doing amazing things and they are always looking for volunteers, then you could see everything and learn the proper history and not be schooled. :)

Reading over the comments here I got very concerned about the young people that are talking about going to this hospital. Urban exploring is about seeing the building , not looking for ghosts. The TV shows that do the ghost hunting are in buildings they have gained access to by asking the owners. They have been inside and investigated the areas that they are going to cover at night. They know where the dangerous areas are and they avoid them. There are lots of organized ghost hunts in abandoned buildings around Halloween. This is a much safer way to explore. It sounds like this place is over run with police and may be a good place to avoid. Not trying to be a killjoy, but as a retired Emergency Room RN I know the things that can happen to people who explore in the dark. Be careful out there.
What a lovely photo. You can almost imagine a lake beyond the trees. Thanks for another great gallery Mr. Motts.
I love your inclusion of the green plant.
