Edmonton Alberta Abandonned Hospital/Mental Institute near Westmount

I recently moved maybe 16 blocks from westmount mall in the glenora area and happened across an abandonned hospital/mental institute thats right across the street from westmount mall. Some friends and I tried to get in but were actually chased out by neighborhood watch, this place is HUGE and I can't imagine anyone on here hasnt heard of or explored it themselves, any tips as to how to sneak passed these assholes and get into the freaky place?

Hi.

The best way is to go in i believe in later night. however make sure you bring your masks because i believe there is lots of asbestos still in there and dont forget your flashlight. you will need it!. this place is becoming a condo for old folks or something.

BTW I am interested in getting in their too so if you want someone to go with, just let me know. i havent really done any exploring in the past few years however once its in your blood it stays! lol

Dude that is so old news. Charles Camsell hospital.

Check out uea.ca and drains of my city. We have hundreds of photos and vids from in there from the last 5 years.

The building is mostly stripped now and being turned into condos. I do not explore it anymore as it is not as cool as it once was. 4 years ago it was abandoned, had power and still had much of the hospital equipment in it and it worked.

Now it is an essentially empty box.

For the record, here is a definition to familiarize yourselves with:

sanitarium/sanitorium - an institution for the preservation or recovery of health, esp. for convalescence; health resort.

The word doesn't necessarily imply that it was a mental hospital which is what it generally gets confused with, and this hospital was not for the mentally deficient. The Camsell was set up as a TB hospital.

As for worth getting into it at this point, see above. I think it has been completely gutted now and probably doesn't resemble a hospital anymore. If you do what to get a glimpse of it at it's best, watch Intern academy.

I've been thinking about this recently. In this hobby, it's all about point of view. Sure, to many of us, the Camsell has seen way better days. But if you have never seen it before, it's still incredibly cool because it is a huge, empty building that used to be a hospital. I will readily admit that, if I went to a city and saw a building similar to the Camsell, I'd want to get inside of it.

But now, not so much.

Oh hey, I encouraged Team Leader to do it.

But for me I am done with it.
