Guessing a school or similar? 

When I get the alarm in and checked out I will tell you!  Right now only 1/2 of the building is being scanned.

We also take our road signs seriously...

Brown with white text = Tourist Attraction - usually this signage is paid for by the attraction.

It is a WW2 filter bunker in Inverness.  2 underground levels and about 50 rooms.  It was used 24x7 during WW2, and hardended in the 90s (full NBC double air-locks etc) to allow high heid yins to hide until all the carnage of a nuke strike was over.  2 x 6 cylinder perkins engines driving 3-phase generators INSIDE the building - with their own air supply and separate air-locks (since the air was not filtered to NBC level) to keep the building running after the EMP.  Bikes to keep the air circulating in the event of the power and the generators all failing!  

 

It served me well during covid

 

Anyway it is now alarmed up.

 

Link to some info about the bunker
