Where does the conduit go?

straight up into the drop tile ceiling.

yes it is held by a magnet. and the magnet releases the door if the fire alarm is activated.    But i'm fairly certain that this button is not related as it is a bit of a distance away.  and it would be the only fire door in the hospital i have seen that has a button like this, and as mentione,d it is pretty high up on the wall and would be difficult for lots of people to press

eh, wasn't intended to be.  more of a creative/imaginative exercise for arfcom to see what they could think up as the purpose of the button for the lulz.

The fact that the button is up high suggests to me that there was once a false floor in that corridor, perhaps for computer cabling.

I am going to go with the idea that it used to be some kind of emergency shut off.

When whatever it was connected to was moved the maintence guys took down the sign and left the button to mess with your head .

Anything like that out in a public space would have a sign on it if it actually did anything

Most modern E-stops have a mechanism that locks them in "stop" and then you have to either twist or manually pull them back out to put them in "go" again.  That looks like the kind of switch that when held down, energizes a circuit, then opens back up once you let off of it.  Looks a lot like a switch for an industrial roll-up style fire door.

Opens a random door that no longer is secure.
-or-
Cancels the activation of an FM-200 or Halon fire suppression system?
(Does the room have water sprinkler spigots, or "nozzles" protruding from the ceiling?)
-or-
Cuts power to any electricals in the area in case a water based system deploys during a fire.
My take.

No good comes from pushing random buttons.

You're going to push it anyway.

I would too.  No, I'd have pushed it already.

Ceiling tiles lift up.

Maybe an air compressor E-stop?  I've seen those that aren't manual-reset in some places when the compressor uses an electromagnetic contactor.

Two places I've worked had buttons high on the wall like this.  The lights were on schedules to turn off on the weekends and late at night.  Those buttons turned them back on if you were working odd hours.

I worked in an amusement park maintenance shop as the oiler, filter changer and broomsman.  We serviced park vehicles as well as the park rides. The park had a propane fired steam engine train in which the old steam whistle was pulled off and replaced with a deeper toned whistle.  Somehow the old steam whistle ended up attached to the shop's one inch 180psi air line with an inline solenoid and mounted on top of a rafter directly above a hallway.  Of course, there was an unmarked red button sticking out of the wall of the hallway just below that rafter.  Later, a list of names with dates was started on the wall to memorialize people who pushed the button.  You would think a list of names in which some of the names have the added notations of "crapped" and "peed" would prevent people from pushing the button.

"Usually" .  An Emergency shutoff - only push in case of emergency sign is not sufficient for some people. Took about 4 days for everything at our data center to get back running right. Rumor was they were training a new security guard.  There's a cover there now.

This.
Although all it does it shut down the air handlers. Used in case of fire. There are a couple of them in my hospital, too.

Still, who knows for sure. PUSH IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO...

That is not conduit coming from the PB-push-button.
Looks like wire-mould.
If it was critical it would be in conduit of the applicable color.
And, labeled permanently.
