As the summer was over, I was also sensing, that my urbex season was starting to be over. To get a few more new locations off my ever growing shortlist, I decided to take a tour around the area to see, if some locations that I had visited earlier would have opened up. The municipalContinue reading “Spring Tour In Autumn”

The final location of the day was chosen by me. It was the former elementary school of Jakomäki, which was due to be demolished. And as soon as we got there, we noticed, that demolition had already started. There also seemed to be a kindergarten of some sort in the buildng. We started to lookContinue reading “Dating To Find New Locations Part VII”

A Pac Man themed mural probably made by the pupils. The last years of the school were spent as a temporary space for other schools under renovation. Even more interesting Pac Man themed murals. A recipe for a good mood. The student council bulletin board with a brochure of mental health help. Important things! TheContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part X”

Behind the first door was a small corridor with several doors. The headmaster’s study. The headmaster has left the building. But their taste in curtains has been rather, well, 90’s and dull. More color would do the trick. Study equipment storage. There wasn’t much left: only portraits of historical Finnish notables, such as Uno Cygnaeus,Continue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part VIII”

After returning from the corridor downstairs, I took a look at the other side of the stage. There was just a small space probably used for storing scenery and props. They tried to protect the clock, but it has taken a hit anyway. A storage room for chairs. Again an oddly specific way to defineContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part VII”

This is the second floor lobby. We’re still in the old part of the school. Behind the glass wall in the new wing. Big crosses have been taped on the doors. Are you trying to tell me not to enter? This is the new side stairway. the door to the left leads to the oldContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part VI”

After the rare visit to the basement, I climbed one floor up in the old main staircase. The old and new wings weren’t built on the same level. So there was an extra staircase from the main staircase to the newer wing. The second floor of the new wing. This space is above the canteen.Continue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part V”

And so I am for the first time in the old main stairway of the building. Let’s have a closer look at what’s behind the door to the right. A counter with music equipment and kitchen stuff. Looks like the student council café. And the same spot photographed with a flash. A look deeper. LooksContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part IV”

I am again in the original part of the old school. The sign tells me, that this is the men’s locker room. And it looks like this. The boys’ locker room shower. The source of so much pain and drama during secondary school years. A maximum of four pupils at once. A small toilet atContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part III”

Reaching the main lobby of the school. The two steps to the right are an interesting feature of the school, which will receive an explanation soon. And the explanation comes here in the form of this drawing of the school. What I didn’t know when I started writing this post was, that the school hasContinue reading “Didn’t Find A Way In So I Invited Myself Part II”
