Its actually pretty common in China for employers to provide housing accomodations to their employees. So my guess is they had some sort of apartment complex on site that people were using. They werent like sleeping in their offices.
Being an hour and a half away actually makes it make even more sense theyd sleep there to avoid a commute.
My guess is the top right building is housing. You have 2 gate houses, one just to the main building and one to that side building. Would make sense if researchers were living in that side building that there would be visitors or maybe even family living with them there that they would want the extra gate for. Since they wouldnt be allowed inside the main building.

It’s not a very large complex - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMSR-LF1
The site is about an hour and a half away from the nearest urbanised area
