This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It must have been a designated fallout shelter. This was part of a whole concept that people would go into places like that in large masses and wait out the nukes. My alma mater had a supposed fallout shelter in one of the buildings' stairwells. There were big signs up telling everyone that a stairwell with huge windows on every floor was a fallout shelter.
It definitely was. There may have been corridors and bathrooms that were absolutely packed full of disassembled bunk beds.
