The red structure is the support of the crane used for heavy lifting in CMS, i.e. the lowering of the large detector parts, each weighing 1000 tons (metric tons, 1t = 1000kg = 157.5 stones) or more (or, in other units, 10^33 protons or a couple of Boeing 747s).
Exhaust steam plumbing.

Those buildings in the distance are the home of the Compact Muon Solenoid, aka CMS: home.cern/science/experiments/cms
CMS itself is 100 meters below ground. Usually you can't get in to see it because the beam is running, but everything is in extended maintenance mode now so we can get an underground tour.
