Go to the end and you eventually get outdoor. There, turn left to enter inside the other portion of the building. You will in a room with nukage/water. Head to the east of the room and enter the middle corridor. Once you find a lift, take it up into another room, in which you need to press the switch to get the exit accessible.

Return to the liquid room, and notice an opened wall in the west. Go there to get outdoor and walk on the staircase to the north. Jump over the central pillar and to the northern side, so you can finish the level.
