Hey guys! 'nother 'splore for ya today! I was actually reminded of this place by Liquorhead a few days ago, and decided to check it out since i've never even taken a second glance at the place.
So without further ado...
As I entered the building I was immediately taken aback by the stillness and pristine cleanliness of the place. I stood at the side of the hallway holding my breath and searching all the corners for signs of PIRS and cameras.

After waiting a minute or so i heard a single *BEEP!* echoing down the hall coming from the nursing station. I was afraid it might be a security system so i did the only thing i could do to be sure. I waved my hand in front of the PIR above the nearest door jam. Nothing. So this hallway was safe at least. Besides the beeps were echoing from elsewhere. I continued on through the hall peering into the rooms.

Upon clearing this hall i slowly walked towards the source of the beeping which was a large room at the end of the hall. I realized this was the center of the building and all other halls started at this point and went out like the legs from the body of a spider. A nurse station took the center of the room. There is a pano (my first) from inside the station on my flickr.

I soon realized that the beeps were actually coming from hall 1 (zone 3 on map) and so i was now free to explore every other hall and room!

I soon realized there were precise holes in almost every room and wall, strategically placed where copper pipes and wiring was. Holes like these scattered the place, but they were so precise and in such random locations I can't help but acknowledge the fact that whoever scrapped this place knew their craft well.

After exploring everything else I decided to find the source of the beeping and after an incredibly tense walk down a dark hallway it turned out it was a smoke detector lol.
Upon leaving the building i headed towards the front only to have my stomach drop at the sight of a VERY close police car parked out front. I was behind that tree right of the car next to the building. I quickly backtracked hoping he hadn't seen me and dropped all contraband and popped out my sd cards. I went all the way around the building to the opposite side only to realize.... He wasn't there for me! he was just radar checking for speeding! i went out front feeling ballsy and took this

I then went back and grabbed my stuff and left a happy man.
