The stainless steel bathtub thing is called a hydrotherapy tub. I'm not sure what they're used for now, but in the past they were used for a procedure called shock-wave lithotripsy. Patients would sit in the tub filled with water and a machine would deliver shock waves through the walls of the tub to break up kidney stones inside the body. Pretty interesting.

Thanks for sharing. I could have some fun with creative photos of that big stainless tub. "Get Out" was a nice touch! Even the fire extinguisher in the middle of the hallway looked right at home! Building looks too new (and good shape) to be abandoned.
Take nothing with you but memories and photographs. Leave nothing behind except your footprints in the dust.

Nice place! I really like that workbench in the third-to-last shot.

Thanks everyone for the comments, the place closed down in December of 2009/January of 2010. I have made a few trips back but I have had no luck with getting in. During the most recent trip I found fresh tire tracks and a still warm cup of coffee. The location is still owned by the local city and has been in a state of limbo until the city decides the facilities next use
