By following the instructions given by Lara, you'll eventually reach the rooftops. There Lara must get an upper-body Power Up in order to become strong enough to shimmy to a walkway, where she finds the Gantry Gate Key that is needed to finish the level.
Hidden Training Level
There is in fact a hidden area accessible from here if you use the fly cheat to walk through the locked door down from the dog when the level first begins. This was originally intended to be the training for more advanced moves such as commando crawl, but was never finished. In spite of that it is still playable albeit with some missing textures.
