That’s the temporary shed while they rigged it to be hoisted up the tower where it was detonated. You can see the pulley block attached to the top. Anything in that spot would have been temporary, whether they dismantled it or not, so wasting resources on a “better” structure would be silly.
It’s in the desert, so a shelter was probably necessary to keep things cooler and a bit cleaner.
It’s in a fucking wooden framed shed. Practically a shanty. Humans are insane.

Tony Oppenheimer was able to build this in a shack! With a box of scraps!
