Posted by TheWeaver Nice photos. And that is a lot of decay! Any idea of when this place was abandoned?

Thanks - I think it was abandoned in 1993.
Posted by anatonic Just to clarify, this was never an asylum nor did the college repurpose any of the buildings that are disused - aside from using them as storage/dumping ground. That aside, nice photos, pissed about the stupid graffiti that finally made its way to my favorite building on site.

Maybe "repurposed" is a bit strong of a word - yeah, my understanding was that they were just using the buildings as storage.
What exactly was it? My understanding is that it was a mental health facility but not exactly an asylum - more of a training facility for those with mental and developmental issues.
I guess maybe "group home" would be closer to the truth. I think I'll update my descriptions accordingly, thanks for the heads-up.
