That appears consistent with an adult ground beetle (Carabidae). It likely 
wandered in beneath a door or though a hole, or perhaps was a stowaway on some 
item brought into the facility. In any case, the creature poses virtually no 
risk, except to other insects.

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

Best regards,
Rich
