3 of 14: In that big, central section, you'll find the entrance in there.

5 of 14: Not too far away from the First-Aid compartment, there's a door that will open to reveal an alcove.
6 of 14: Inside is some steroids and a switch.
7 of 14: If you hit that switch, a wall will lower on the other side of the big room.
8 of 14: The object is to hit the switch, and run to the newly-opened wall.
