But the real question is when the copy of Hawkins of 1983 ends up there, or why.

That was one of my first thoughts after seeing that scene. Hopefully there's an explanation at some point.

My guess is its All those kooky experiments taking place, I saw it as a Dumping ground for 11 and Co to send/force their negative feelings/actions to unaware of their consequences..
11 just went one step further and forced Henry into it..
And..


I haven't seen it mentioned but in the main Recreational area in the facility....

Those "Rainbows on the Walls"change from Right-side Up to Upside-down... leading me to think the good Doc was perhaps actually working at some point in the upside-down?
