Many of the parts of Azys Lla actually weren't open to the public due to the amount of danger involved with the research.
Of course, but like any military base, there was a residential complex for servicemen and their families, and amenities that would be of little value to a purely military fortress, like the Fractal Continuum. It's honestly no different from the Crystal Tower, except with fewer illusions as to what was on display.

There's also the neglected remains of what was most likely a self-sustaining garden over by the Habisphere, which is not the sort of thing you abandon in an apocalypse. Keep in mind that the major breakout in the Meracydian sector that sent the place to hell in a handbasket was less than 3000 years ago. Even if most of the place was left alone, the possibility remains that, barring deliberate sabotage, someone could have survived there for quite some time.
