The Asylum at School

Posted on Forum: UER ForumQuote
I've been meaning to make it back here for quite a while. My last visit a few years back was a little too exciting and they've definitely gotten smarter with their camera placement since then. This old school for people with developmental disabilities has seen better days, but their is still so much history to uncover.

1.



2.




3.




4. This building was used to store and maintain fire safety equipment before being abandoned for good.




5. A lot of buildings were either modern, or modernized and that made for some monotonous interiors.




6. Some of the best features still shown through in places.




7. So I lost two entire flashlights, which given I never remember to bring a flashlight in the first place, seemed like an improvement.




8. This is about the coziest spot you could want for a quick breakfast.




9.




10.




11. This is one of the oldest buildings on campus and one of the first to close. Its referred to as the "asylum" in some of the older paperwork. Its construction was a bleak admission that not all people with developmental disabilities would be returned to the community. It isn't that different from an almshouse in the way it was built.




12. Spelling test on Wednesday. This place is such a time capsule.




13.




14. Wheel chair graveyard.




15. Game closet.




16. I was surprised to find this map of the campus. It even outlines the best route to take to avoid being seen.




17.




18. This appears to be some sort of mobility device, but I couldn't see how it worked.




19.





20. "Blood carousel"




21. This back room, hidden behind some cabinets, was full of old medical equipment.




22.




23.




24.




25.




26.




...
Thanks for looking and I owe a special thanks to Interstitial for giving me some quality information on the site a while back! Thanks again!

Guess I've got to make another trip...

Awesome work on these! It makes me so happy when i can still see some of the older Asylums with medical equipment left behind. Really was intrigued by # 6. 22, and 24.

I might have oversold it! If you've seen the rest of the building, you've seen just as much. It is cool though. Its at the very end of the west wing. There's a staircase and a hoard of cabinets with yellow doors. Looks like somebody's maneuvered the doors to keep it safe from vandalism. You'll find it behind there.

Thanks! Yeah, definitely not as many of these places as there used to be, but they are out there for sure and I think some of them will be around for a while yet. Here's hoping any way.

Windows in #6 are gorgeous with the fall atmosphere. Did the handwheels in #23 still work?

Yeah it's been a while, covid's made work beyond exhausting. Got some stuff from around August I finally went through and picked out the good ones from, so expect a thread or two soon.
