Holy cow you can hear the fluorescents buzzing just looking at it.
I really often wonder if school architects and prison architects are the same people. Both are cruel, deliberate, human containment pens made of concrete and steel.
Yes. Architects who design schools also design prisons. And the designs have a lot of similarity.
In the US the school districts are primarily for containment, then for indoctrination, then for edification.
Note that this changed momentarily after Sputnik and America decided it needed to get into gear. And the current Republican push to dismantle public education systems entirely are reactionary to that, since a lot of that generation dared to question authority.
That actually looks shockingly like my elementary schools cafeteria, which was in the basement level and everything. (Although the rest of my school was fine and not enveloped by some hellish highway on ramp)
The cafeteria in question

Jester Dorms on the UTexas Austin campus were famously built by the state’s biggest prison contractor, by the same name.
Looks like a set from Squid Games

Damn. Imagine going to school in two backroom levels at once.
