Looks to be the military hospital (I think that's what it was) in the Phoenix park.

I drive past it when I'm coming back from home, its up on a hill and looks creepy as hell at night.

Yeah I figured it was something associated with the military, but the shape of the thing caught my interest. Thanks!
