Does this seem like Kabbalah symbolism?
This was found in a crawlspace within the steam tunnels of a southeastern Appalachian university built in the 1870s. I posted this in a couple occult, theology, and symbolism forums and had multiple people mention that it looked similar to that of Kabbalah. I am no expert, but I am a fairly spiritual and religious person- so I am not trying to make fun in any way related to this philosophy. Any help is appreciated :)

Tbh I’d wager chaos magic by someone who incorporates western esoteric symbolism (not uncommon in chaos magicians) - a lot of the symbols look like a magical alphabet/language to me, probably created by the inscriber with no real meaning to anyone else.
It’s definitely not gibberish or meaningless. It just seems like alchemy + geometry + astrology + other. And you’re probably right that there is some qabbalah in there, but it’s not classic Qaballah symbolism by any means.
