Utilities & Storage (East Wing, Hall A)
Climate Control Utilities: The temperature in Landel's institute is always kept at an ideal temperature year-round, and that is largely attributed to its state of the art climate control system. It is kept in a simple room with beige walls and a white, tiled floor. There are several control panels mounted to the wall, which are assigned to different portions of the building: more specifically, for the first floor (with a separate panel for the patient blocks), second floor, and third floor. They are activated by sleek touch screens, and were designed for easy use by the staff. The display that gives the temperature on each control panel reads a comfortable 73° F (or 22.7° C), for every portion of the building. Of course, it would also be quite easy for some mischievous patient to tamper with the system, - that is, if they had the key for the door.
Electrical Utilities: Outside the door to this room, the faint rumbling of machinery and the hum of electricity can be heard, but once the thick doors are opened and a person steps inside, the sound is much, much louder. A large square block of generators - encased in industrial steel to protect the mass of cables and wiring within - dominates the center of the room, humming as it powers the entire Institute. Despite the pitch blackness that falls on the building at sundown, these machines never stop running, clearly powering something despite the loss of lights and electricity in the floors and rooms surrounding it. Against the left and right walls are four switch boxes each that control power to various sections of the building, although these seem to have no apparent effect after darkness falls.
Extra Storage: Stretching out behind the Janitor's Closet, this room is clearly maintained by the same disorganized soul in charge of the previous room. Three of the walls are hidden by shelves crammed with just about anything imaginable. Paper supplies, bottles and cans of cleaning solvents, scrubs, bleach, rags, brushes, duct tape, cables, wiring supplies, and tools of every size, variety, and use. The fourth wall holds no shelves, but against it are leaned the equipment too large to fit in the narrow closet. There are several vacuums, a carpet steamer, several different ladders of varying heights, a hand truck, a mop bucket. In the center of a room sits a much abused janitor's cart, its sides scuffed and dirty, evidently having seen much use. The air smells faintly of oil and the sharp sting of cleaning products.
General Storage: As the name implies, this area contains general items that are currently being stored by the Institute. It's a simple, practical room with white tile and gray walls. The most important thing to note here is that there are stacked boxes and cabinets organized neatly through out the room, many of which cast large, distorted shadows when all-too-curious patients wander in with a flashlight. Anyone brave enough to venture through the dark and rummage around will discover the cabinets contain items such as male and female nurse uniforms, hair nets and lab coats, while the plastic boxes store things like latex gloves, basic first aid kits with small band-aids and tiny bottles of about 20 Tylenol, gauze, bandages and plastic shoe-coverings. A list of items within can be found here.
Janitor's Closet: The Janitor's Closet is cluttered and narrow, much of the equipment required for the maintenance of the institute crammed into this too-small room.. One wall is completely covered and hidden by all sorts of brooms, mops, and other cleaning equipment, attached to the wall by metal racks and hooks. The other wall holds a large, deep, square-shaped sink, its surface stained from dirt, grime, paint, and any other number of things washed in it over the years. Beside the sink stands a tall, narrow metal shelving unit, stacked full to overflowing with cleaning solvents, half-used rolls of paper towels, dirty rags, a few large half-full cans of leftover paint, some gardening gloves, and any number of things stashed back behind these visible objects. There seems to be no recognizable order or logic to the bottles and cans and other items stuffed onto the shelf, and most seem to retain their places in the most haphazard of fashions. Jostle the shelf too hard when squeezing through this room and you might find yourself buried under a good majority of it. View a list of items in the Janitor's closet here.
Laundry Room: For an institute the size of Landel's, laundry is a never-ending job. The laundry room is divided up into four rows of industrial washers with the dryers stacked atop them. Two of these rows line opposing walls while another pair are placed back to back facing them, numbering twenty sets of units in all. At the end of each row are stacked shelves holding all the laundry and cleaning supplies required, containing detergents, softeners, and bleach. The wall to the left of the door has a wide counter attached to the wall for sorting, folding, and ironing the institute's linens. Beneath the counter are lodged wheeled metal carts for transporting the clean laundry. To the right of the door are several large wheeled canvas-lined bins that hold piles of the dirty laundry from various places in the institute, such as towels, sheets, and uniforms still waiting to be laundered. The air in here is almost always hot, damp, and humid from the constant running of the laundry machines.
Mail Room: This room is kept impeccably organized despite the amount of paperwork and correspondence that filters in and out of here during the day. The floor is covered by a thick grey industrial carpet and the walls are painted a bright white. The left wall and back wall are covered with shelves of open mail slots that reach over five feet high. The longer expanse of shelving along the left wall has each of its mail slots labeled with a patient name and room number while the back wall holds the mail slots for the Institute itself and the staff residing there. Most are emptied and refilled each day by the diligent staff, although the patient boxes are most often found empty and waiting for correspondence that rarely comes. Along the right wall is a row of counters holding filing bins, along with various office supplies such as paper, pens, pencils, scissors, staplers, and envelopes. A computer is set against the wall with a large printer beside it, although after dark, it stubbornly resists any efforts of booting up. Beside it sits a large paper cutter. In the center of the room sit two metal work tables with three large burlap mail sacks secured over wire frames beside them, used for sorting the correspondence that arrives at the Institute.
Main File Storage: The main file storage room on the second floor is considerably larger than the file rooms on the first floor. And with good reason -- instead of records of current patients, this room houses files from all past patients held within Landel's. Eight long rows of filing cabinets span across the white-tiled floors, which cast exaggerated shadows when illuminated by a flashlight. The drawers are alphabetically arranged by last name. Strangely, none of the cabinets are unlocked, making it easy for wandering patients to search through their contents. Some may wish they never had, though, especially if they happen to stumble across frighteningly familiar faces paper-clipped inside some of the files, though only of patients who have already been released from the institute.

Nurse Residence Hall
Female Nurse Prep Area: Located just south of the women's restrooms and showers, this is the area where female nurses get ready for another day's work. The floor is made up of a blue tile, and the walls are an off-white color. A couple of comfortable sofas are positioned against the western wall, which are made from soft leather. Mirrors, which are almost always squeaky clean, line the eastern wall. In the northwestern corner of the room, there's a vanity that includes a mirror surrounded by small bulb-shaped light fixtures. A long, brown table sits in the center of the room, which includes an old copy of National Geographic that a nurse must have snatched from the lobby and accidentally forgot to return. Against half of the southern wall is a large, brown closet. Patients who decide to rummage around inside will discover mostly empty coat-hangers, though they may find things such as a nice handmade sweater and scarf. The other half of the wall consists of lockers where nurses keep their possessions. Lucky patients will find things like cigarettes, gum, bite-sized candy bars, mints, a small make-up kit, or a couple of dollar bills scattered throughout them. Take care that none of the nighttime staff catches you rummaging around their things, though, or else you might regret it.
Female Nurse Restroom/Showers:
Male Nurse Prep Area: Located just south of the men's restrooms, this is the area where male nurses prepare for their daily work. The floor is made up of a white tile, and the walls are a light blue. A couple of comfortable sofas are positioned against the eastern wall. Mirrors, which are almost always squeaky clean, line the western wall. A round, brown table sit in the center of the room, giving the room a decietfully warm touch. Against half of the southern wall is a large, white cabinet. Patients who decide to rummage around inside will discover mostly empty coat-hangers, though there might occassionaly be a left-over coat or belt, having been carelessly forgotten by one of the many male nurses. The other half of the wall consists of lockers where nurses keep their possessions. Lucky patients will find things like cigarrettes, gum, bite-sized candy bars and mints scattered throughout them. Just take care that there isn't anything else lurking around in there, especially at night.
Male Nurse Restroom/Showers:
Nurse Lounge: This is where the nurses can have an area of their own to take a break. A couple of large windows are positioned along the wall, which likely allows a healthy amount of sunlight in during the day. (At night, however, the blinds are kept shut, giving the area a much more closed feel.) Beneath the windows is a large, comfortable green couch that looks like it'd be nice to sink into for awhile. Four cushy chairs are also positioned along the western wall. In the center is a round, black table with several plastic chairs. Along the eastern wall is a cream-colored cabinet that contains a coffee maker, several plastic plates and mugs, sugar, salt and pepper, aluminum foil, saran wrap, plastic eating utensils, a purple jar of chocolate mints and a microwave. Weirdly, there's a couple of clean, empty thermoses next to the microwave, as if they were left behind by one of the nurses. On the floor next to the cabinet is a mini fridge that holds several bottles of water and a couple of unopened cans of cola. While people in here are usually willing to chat over a hot cup of joe, don't let the cheery painting of a vase of summer wildflowers next to the couch fool you: patients wandering in here after hours might not get such a warm welcome.
