The floor is covered in old, brownish-grey square tiles, visibly worn and dirty, with some areas appearing to be under repair or prepped for demolition. Overhead, the ceiling is a light beige with visible pipes and unfinished sections. The lighting is dim and natural, suggesting a lack of proper light fixtures.
