Oddly enough, it sounds a lot like some facility for a research reactor of some sort or other. Water makes pretty good shielding, and a clean room is
something you might have when you don't want anything unintentionally leaving the place "hot". Likewise there are some experiments you don't want
conaminated from anything outside either. (Nuclear chemistry stuff. Don't want foreign stuff that could throw off your decay product analysis or
whatever.) You could try doing research on that subject and see if you find something close. (There are lots of these kind of labs, so narrowing it
down would be difficult.) If you happened to remember anything about lab workers being particular about wearing film badges or clipping a small
pen-sized canister onto themselves (dosimetry), that would be another clue that it would be nuclear related.
Now if it's not nuclear reactor stuff, it could also be something like this...

That's the only other thing I could think of with a big pool with labs and heavy equipment.
Good luck on that.
