I would post here, but it's a lot of pics to post, so i'll just give you guys a link to my blog post about it.
Two little things I noticed: the floor button has no base and the observation room walls look a bit too destroyed. Other than that it looks good. I personally would use a custom texture of the concrete that is lighter, but with darker rust stains and dirt, or just concrete.

Aside from that though, looks nice. I've always like outdoor maps, and you've blended inside and outside quite well.

Quote from Arachnaphob on February 20, 2014, 9:28 pmI love them so so so so much! Nicely done!
A few suggestions:
-In the first picture, try adding some panels on the roof, but not many. Just enough to stay interesting.
-you can never have too few vactubes. Take a look at how many there are in the part where Wheatley breaks you out of the light bridge test.Btw, is this part of TLFS part 4?

It's good, but I think you misunderstood the concept of the Art Therapy design having your chamber suspended above a flooded area with a huge BTS that looks like an airport or whatever.
