I think the columns are structural, and part of the original industrial building - the bottoms of them seem to be in the TV-room-cum-gymnasium (why are the supports for the weights positioned so that the bar will is directly in the way of anybody trying to get in/out of the sofa and directly in the line-of-sight to the TV - you're stuffed if there's a heavy set of weights attached and you can't lift the bar off the get to the seats. And how close is the top of those stairs to the ceiling? - all the ceilings look quite low actually. And there seems to be a distinct lack of electrical sockets around the place. The last time I saw something like this was in 2005 when the film Downfall was released - the one set largely in the Fuhrerbunker during the last days of the Third Reich (without all the shag-pile obviously).

Ard Mhor sits between Brookview estate, which is Brookfield, and Citywest. IIRC Ard Mhor was originally built as either affordable housing or shared ownership. Some Respond housing association units in there too, have a friend (who ironically works for SDCC housing section) living in a Respond apartment there.
