From my personal experience, they typically have several different sizes of enclosed spaces available, some opening directly to the outdoors (as in the photo) and some off interior hallways.

Why landuse? It's generally going to be located inside a larger

standard office building. There is some use of

if any (except for the ones I tagged) are used for this type of
facility.
