Is it reasonable to find fallen guards inside or outside the building? I assume any fallen guards will have their weapons and gear stripped by the monster to absorb the technology and materials, but I just want to ask in advance.

A few but not many. Most of the absorbed tech would've been the R&D stuff in the central lab. The guards would've likely made their way inside and got killed with the majority of the staff.
