Anyone find any? Not just rooms you don't have access too, but forgotten rooms which no one knows about.
Similar to Urbex research, there was one old timer here who spoke to be about a rumor of an IT storage room in our 10-story building. IT for our operation isn't in this building except a few people. I'm more a project manager. However anyway there used to be an IT rep in this building until she quit years ago.
From what I hear she flew by the seat of her pants and never followed protocol. That made it even more plausible that there'd be this room no one really knew about.
So, using the info provided to me, I found the location on 10th floor which seemed plausible. I asked departments on that flow if they knew of the room or had a key. None did. They asked their managers, and managers on adjoining floors to try their master keys, that didn't work. I asked the cleaning staff, keys didn't work. I tried building security, keys didn't work.
Finally someone gave me a clue of asking some guy with an office in the basement. His job was something completely different than what goes on at the upper floors, never heard of the room either, but someone had access to every key of the building. Finally we had the right key, open up the room, and walk into an IT storage room sealed in time for about 3 years.
You can visualize it, all PC cases were white, not black. All monitors were CRT. All mice/keyboards PS/2, just a whole bunch of vintage crap that no one in this building, or downtown even really knew existed.
This wasn't that cool. E.g. not like finding an unknown server still running, or a server hidden behind a dry walled room or anything. Anyone find anything like this ever? Other examples:
