Kennith Gordon School in New Westminster

I got a tip last night about this abandoned elementary school in New Westminster that looked fairly new, but had overgrown fields around it, and it was walking distance from the skytrain so I decided to take a look.

It happens that the school had been relocated to North Vancouver for the 2010/2011 year ( http://www.kennethgordon.bc.ca/ ) and as far as I can tell they haven't done anything with it yet.

When I Was there someone was actually inside with a car parked at the front. I assume it was someone who works for the school board picking things up which had been left there the previous school year.

From the overall look of the building, you can tell its empty, but it isn't boarded up at all. If you look inside you can see there are still papers and books in some rooms, at least in the few that I saw.

I'm going to go back this week just to see if theres a way in at all, which I'm fairly certain there isn't, and to get up on the roof because it's very easily accessible, for curiosity sake.

There's a playground, big field and small forested area with benches behind, and 3 or 4 portables, as well as the main building.

Definitely a place worth checking out if you are around or have the chance.

I'll try and get some pictures soon.

A school empty in August? weird?

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

The school is moving to another location.
Thats the first thing I thought, that it was just closed for the summer, but they don't have any security or maintenance on it whatsoever, and on the website for the school they talk about how it's been relocated.

Either way, looks like an interesting find.

Are you sure it's abandoned? On the homepage of the website:

To be located on the site of the former Maplewood Elementary School, our school will grow to help more B.C. children with dyslexia and specific learning difficulties between grades 1 to 8 excel in the classroom and in life.


I have climbed onto the roofs of elementary schools before. One time I fell off one. It was not very fun.
