Introduction Having not explored a hospital before and with it being not too far away, me and @Reallyjaffa set out to explore the site making sure to bring adequate masks due to the high levels of asbestos. Sadly the building was quite vandalised and smashed up. Nonetheless, there was still...

The University of Law campus in Guildford, based at Braboeuf Manor, was originally established in the 1960s when the institution was still known as The College of Law, though its wider history dates back to 1876. It operated for decades as a major centre for legal training in the UK before...

An abandoned faculty building we visited last year during our trip to Slovakia and Hungary. I'm not sure about the history, but it's an old building in a functioning university campus in a larger city and seems to have been abandoned for quite some time. It likely used to belong to a...

Over the past couple of years I've had the pleasure of exploring the rooftops of a few of the University of Bristol's beautiful buildings. Due to the extensive grounds, and the fact that quite a few of the buildings are relatively old, there is often scaffolding up at one point or another to...

This abandoned university building was originally built in the 1800s as a Gothic-style villa, designed by a well-known architect of the time. In the late 19th century, it was expanded and its interior redesigned with detailed woodwork and stained glass, reflecting the arts and crafts style. By...

The Former University of Law, Guildford – Abandoned Campus Explore History The Guildford campus of the University of Law (formerly the College of Law) was one of the institution’s major teaching centres for decades. Originally opened in the 1960s, the site served tens of thousands of trainee...

Explored during a Southern Road Trip back in May, with 3 non-members (1 lift enthusiast friend!) when everything else had failed prior to this. This was very out of the way and quite a last minute explore. Thanks to @Exploring With Pride 🌈 for the details needed. The site was TRASHED to say...

UCA Rochester closed in 2023 the reason was blamed on not having the £17 million needed to upgrade the landmark building on Fort Pitt Hill, high running costs and cuts in government funding the building since remained unoccupied with power still on and until recently was maintained and watched...

History The buildings are part of the university of Liverpool historical campus and date back to 1905. The building is an amalgamation of the two historically separate buildings, engineering, biology and archaeology was all taught across the floors with two main lecture theatres shared, since...

THE HISTORY The hospital began as one of the earlier county asylums, opening as Surrey County Pauper Lunatic Asylum. It was Surrey's first asylum, followed by Brookwood (1867) and Cane Hill (1882). By 1849, the asylum had become rapidly overcrowed and so had a forward extension added to the...

We ended up stumbling upon this after noticing it seemed empty every time we’d seen it, I’m not sure how long it’s been closed for, but I can only presume it was at the beginning of the pandemic as I believe it was used as a testing zone. (Image of campus from afar) Upon entering the campus...

is place had a really damaging fire exactly a month after my explore. I'm not sure the condition of the building, or what survived. The fire service said there was "substantial damage to the building." however I am yet to go back and check it out myself. I believe the incendent led to two young...

Looking out over the Yale School of the Medicine Now that I spend most my time in the US, I obviously had to start exploring there, right? Like any other university, Yale has an extensive collection of roofs, but what it is more unique is the multiple extensive tunnel systems, designed to...

Solo jaunt. This was part of the same jaunt that has been covered in this report, but because of its incredible size and features which are not short of epic, it definitely warrants its own standalone report. This is a polytechnic which was founded in 1967, before it got university status in...

Faraday Building The Faraday Building's architect was Harry Fairhurst, of the long-established Manchester firm of H.S. Fairhust & Son. It was constructed in 1967 by J. Gerrard & Sons. The building housed, until mid-to-late 2007, part of the University of Manchester School of Chemistry. The...
