Can't even have them escaping into the rest of the building. So, just destroy the lab.

What if power is accidentally cut? Does everyone in the building just instantly die? It's built as a bunker why not just lock the building down if it loses power?

Why does it need to explode? Wouldn't it be more dangerous to blow the building up as it appears and potentially send viruses airborne?

Because it's dramatic.
The emergency generators were running out of fuel, so the computer system was set to a catastrophic fail safe of destryoing the entire facility. Pre-apoclypse if the power goes out the emergency generator kicks in. But he had been running them a month now and he had no more fuel.

That begs the question why not go out and scavenge some, but the guy seemed like too much of a wuss for that and the group had no idea and no time.
